A 12-BORE MODEL 21 SKEET BOXLOCK EJECTOR GUN, NO. 23560

28-inch dove-tail chopper-lump barrels with 2 1/2-inch chambers, about 3/8 choke borings, machined raised ventilated rib by Simmons Gun Specialities, the frame and top lever with bold scroll engraving and inlaid in gold with scenes of duck, the action base with a pointing dog and rising pheasant, selective single trigger, 14 3/4-inch highly figured stock with pistol grip and including Pachmayr rubber recoil pad, beaver tail fore-end, 8lb. 4oz., nitro proof

The gun was imported and sold at Christie's in 1999 and was proofed upon import in London, the chamber length marking indicating 2 1/2-inch chambers, although the breech of the barrels indicates a 2 3/4-inch chamber. The chamber length actually measures 2 5/8-inches and was therefore correctly marked by the London Proof House.
