Caliber : 12 GA 2½''
A superb best quality "Game Gun", made circa 1902, by the great Audley House's London firm. Traditional BEESLEY side locks, self-opening, ejectors action with double sliding bolts.
The whole action extremely finely engraved in traditional “Best Bouquet & Scrolls” and retaining a good part of the original faint colour case hardening.
The 30” mirror bore, chopper lump barrels are still at .730” inside with cylinder (1/10°) and modified (5/10°) chokes.
A niece piece of French walnut was used to make the 14?” LOP straight stock.
The gun is fitted in its PURDEY oak and leather case with accessories and labels.
Perfect in every respect, with most of its original finish and flawless functioning and shooting.
6,6lbs net weight with 3.4lbs for the barrels with forend and 3.2lbs for the action and stock, putting the balance point on the joint.
