Item Details
High Estimate1500
Low Estimate1000
serial #4281, 12 ga (2 1/2''), 30'' damascus barrels choked cylinder in both with mostly bright good bores showing some scattered areas of light pitting, a few areas moderate in the right bore. This appears to be a fine quality gun from an obscure maker built around Purdey's patent bolt system and the undersides of the barrels bearing their original London black powder proofs and later London nitro-proofs for 2 1/2'' shells at 3 tons. The barrels show a nicely reapplied plum-brown finish retaining about 98% showing just some light handling marks and showing fine swirling damascus patterns throughout. The rib is marked only ''H. MORE. LONDON.'' and the action features swirling bolsters and high spur hammers. The action and lockplates are toning to a mix of gunmetal and silvery case-hardened patina with a few hints of colors lurking about the very protected areas. Strangely, the left bolster swirl has been filed down slightly long ago. The action and lockplates show lovely detailed English foliate scrollwork throughout along with nice game bird scenes on either lockplate and a dog on the bow of the guard. The lower tang shows a bit of old pitting that is mostly unobtrusive. The checkered walnut stock and splinter forend remain in very good condition, the buttstock with some added dark finish masking a repair through the wrist, the forend with an old sliver along the right edge and some other scattered dings. The checkering has been nicely refreshed and the stock exhibits some subtle grain figure. Length-of-pull to the checkered horn buttplate is 14 1/4'' with drops of about 1 3/4'' and 2 3/4'' and stock is cast-off. The barrels lock-up well and are slightly off-face and the locks with rebounding hammers are crisp and in-time. Weight is just shy of 7 lbs. An attractive vintage British double hammergun. (13B11621-74) {C&R} (1000/1500)
