(C) FINE MATCHED PAIR OF JOHN DICKSON ROUND ACTION EJECTOR DOUBLE TRIGGER GAME SHOTGUNS WITH ORIGINA

Lot # 1399 (Sale Order: 396 of 460)      

(1925) 29" chopper lump barrels are engraved with Dickson's name and Edinburgh address on narrow swamped game ribs. Rear portions of ribs are gold inlaid "1" and "2" which also appears on top levers, and forend tips denoting a true pair. These guns are also listed as a pair in "John Dickson & Son; The Round Action Gunmaker" by Donald Dallas. Barrel flats are stamped with London nitro proofs along with 1989 London re-proofs at .736 and 2 - 1/2" chambers. Round bodied trigger plate case hardened actions (patent use numbers 1616 and 1617) feature automatic safeties (SAFE inlaid in gold), pivoting third fasteners, and double triggers. Actions are engraved with 90% coverage classic rose and scroll, with very fine shading and detail as done by the Sumner engravers of London. Maker's name is on each side of action, and bottoms are engraved "DICKSON'S PATENT". Blued trigger guards with rose and scroll on bows have serial numbers in semi-relief on tangs. Somewhat matched European walnut straight grip buttstocks are classically styled with point pattern checkering at grips and gold ovals on toe lines engraved "L. N. R." Gun "1" is of fiddle figured and well marbled European walnut, and measures 14 - 5/8" over ribbed wood butt on 5/8" extension. Gun no. "2" is of lightly marbled and figured European walnut measures 14 - 3/4" over checkered wood butt with no extension. Matching splinter forends have Anson releases. On round action guns the ejector mechanism is housed and tripped within the action body itself. The Dickson ejector system is very strong and reliable and was copied by Ruger for use in their "Gold Label" guns. When acting only as extractors, unfired cartridges are lifted 1/2" from chambers. Guns are housed in what appears to be their original two-gun leather case embossed "L. NEIL ROBERTSON" on central rectangle. Interior is lined in blue green velvet, and has blue printed paper Dickson & Son 63 Princes Street label in lid (used from 1920 - 1928). Bottom compartment is separated by dust flap, and has space for both guns and barrels, and contains a brass and ebony two piece cleaning rod, Dickson marked square oil bottle, and two old hinge pins. CONDITION: Very good, as refurbished, most likely at time of re-proof. Barrels retain over 95% "best" re-black, engraving on ribs almost unreadable. Actions retain traces of original case hardening color where protected, around fences, and on trigger plates, balance a fine pewter gray, all engraving remains clear. Top levers and trigger guards re-blued and retain nearly all of that blue, engraving is somewhat softened. Stocks retain nearly all of a hand rubbed oil finish over some old marks, and with a few subsequent nicks and dings. Checkering is somewhat worn, dirty, and does not appear to have been re-cut, except for a "repair" to a dent on forend of gun "2". Bores are excellent. Actions are tight. Barrels are on face.

(1925) 29" chopper lump barrels are engraved with Dickson's name and Edinburgh address on narrow swamped game ribs. Rear portions of ribs are gold inlaid "1" and "2" whic...moreh also appears on top levers, and forend tips denoting a true pair. These guns are also listed as a pair in "John Dickson & Son; The Round Action Gunmaker" by Donald Dallas. Barrel flats are stamped with London nitro proofs along with 1989 London re-proofs at .736 and 2 - 1/2" chambers. Round bodied trigger plate case hardened actions (patent use numbers 1616 and 1617) feature automatic safeties (SAFE inlaid in gold), pivoting third fasteners, and double triggers. Actions are engraved with 90% coverage classic rose and scroll, with very fine shading and detail as done by the Sumner engravers of London. Maker's name is on each side of action, and bottoms are engraved "DICKSON'S PATENT". Blued trigger guards with rose and scroll on bows have serial numbers in semi-relief on tangs. Somewhat matched European walnut straight grip buttstocks are classically styled with point pattern checkering at grips and gold ovals on toe lines engraved "L. N. R." Gun "1" is of fiddle figured and well marbled European walnut, and measures 14 - 5/8" over ribbed wood butt on 5/8" extension. Gun no. "2" is of lightly marbled and figured European walnut measures 14 - 3/4" over checkered wood butt with no extension. Matching splinter forends have Anson releases. On round action guns the ejector mechanism is housed and tripped within the action body itself. The Dickson ejector system is very strong and reliable and was copied by Ruger for use in their "Gold Label" guns. When acting only as extractors, unfired cartridges are lifted 1/2" from chambers. Guns are housed in what appears to be their original two-gun leather case embossed "L. NEIL ROBERTSON" on central rectangle. Interior is lined in blue green velvet, and has blue printed paper Dickson & Son 63 Princes Street label in lid (used from 1920 - 1928). Bottom compartment is separated by dust flap, and has space for both guns and barrels, and contains a brass and ebony two piece cleaning rod, Dickson marked square oil bottle, and two old hinge pins. CONDITION: Very good, as refurbished, most likely at time of re-proof. Barrels retain over 95% "best" re-black, engraving on ribs almost unreadable. Actions retain traces of original case hardening color where protected, around fences, and on trigger plates, balance a fine pewter gray, all engraving remains clear. Top levers and trigger guards re-blued and retain nearly all of that blue, engraving is somewhat softened. Stocks retain nearly all of a hand rubbed oil finish over some old marks, and with a few subsequent nicks and dings. Checkering is somewhat worn, dirty, and does not appear to have been re-cut, except for a "repair" to a dent on forend of gun "2". Bores are excellent. Actions are tight. Barrels are on face.

The number 1 barrel's right ejector trips upon opening. The stock and forend on the number one gun with handling marks, most being at butt of stock. The number two gun with slightly fewer handling marks, again more at butt. Butt stocks most likely have been restocked as stocks are long and figure is modern for the brace's age. Actions are mechanically sound and triggers are crisp. Some slight wear to a few screw head slots. Case and outer cover are in good condition with some age and storage marks. Good pair of guns with a nice bit of provenance.
