A FINE KEN HUNT ENGRAVED SINGLE TRIGGER 20-BORE OVER AND UNDER GUN, NO. 26830
26-inch barrels with 2 3/4-inch chambers, about improved cylinder and 1/4 choke borings, solid file cut rib, the frame, locks and top lever with bold foliate scroll engraving and retaining virtually all of its original finish, the lock plates engraved with scenes of pheasant and duck in flight, the maker's name signed boldly in gold, lined cocking indicators, single trigger, 15-inch highly figured stock, 6lb. 5oz., nitro proof, maker's leather case
The maker confirms that the gun was built in 1960 and supplied to Abercrombie and Fitch in New York. It is recorded as having standard fine scroll engraving. The records make no mention of game scene work by Ken Hunt and it must be assumed that the gun was subsequently re-engraved, either for Abercrombie and Fitch or their subsequent customer. It appears virtually unused. |
