Also included is an oak and leather
takedown case with nickel snap caps, nickel
oiler, and cleaning tools. Barrel and stock
measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed at “20”
(.615 inches) and measured .618/.618 inches; choke constriction .005/.011 inches; minimum wall
thickness .027/.028 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 7/16 inch drop at heel; 14 9/16 inch length of pull;
weight 5 lbs. 9 oz.
CONDITION: Very fine overall as professionally refurbished, retaining 98% blue finish on the barrels with some
thinning at the muzzle, 60% original case colors with the balance a fine silver patina, and some loss of blue on the
lower tang. The metal shows minor handling evidence and the wood has a few scratches, a chip at the left front of
the forend, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good. A fine opportunity to own a lovely
subgauge gun from one of England’s best makers!
Estimate: 20,000 - 30,000
