The gun was completed in 1995 and appears almost unused and retains almost all of its original finish. The vendor states that the gun was to have been Pete Symes' personal gun and although started first, it was put to one side when subsequent customer orders were received. It was only completed when ordered by the current owner with the request that the maker build him a 20-bore over and under gun in the shortest possible time.
