A FINE PAIR OF 12-BORE SELF-OPENING SIDELOCK EJECTOR GUNS, NOS. 26418/9
28-inch chopper-lump barrels with 2 1/2-inch chambers about 1/4 and 5/8 choke borings, sunken game ribs, the frames, locks and gold numbered top levers with fine bouquet and scroll engraving and retaining virtually all of their original hardening colour, lined cocking indicators, 15-inch well figured stocks including leather covered recoil pads, 6lb. 9oz., nitro proof, in their maker's lightweight leather motor case with original maker's accessories
The maker confirms that the guns were built in 1953. They subsequently resold the guns some years later and lengthened the stocks with the addition of leather covered recoil pads to the current length. The guns retain much of their original finish and appear relatively little used. |
