Built in 1879, the gun is an antique, but fully capable of being shot and carried afield with modern 1 1/8 ounce 2 ½ inch shotshells, which we have in stock. The fine English leather covered pad brings the length of pull to 14 3/4" and is fitting of the quality of this gun. The wood on the gun is exhibition quality English walnut, finished in a hand-rubbed English oil root finish, checkering near perfect, as is the wood to metal fit. The beautiful Damascus barrels have mirror bores and are English proofed for modern 2 1/2" shells (still in proof), with mirror bores, 30" in length, tight ribs, truly superb in every way. Full coverage tiny English scroll engraving adorns the case-colored action, all the screws are perfect, clocked, and nitre blued. The gun weighs 6 pounds 9 ounces and is a superb example of guns of the time. This gun has been fully restored to new condition in England and has been lightly handled and shot since.
