A highlight of the Gleneagles show this classic light weight gun was one of a pair produced between the wars. It has 28-inch chopper-lump barrels with 2 1/2-inch chambers, about 3/8 and 5/8 choke borings and hand detachable locks. A gold numbered top lever with acanthus scroll engraving and retains virtually all of its original hardening colour. The maker's name is signed within a panel, gold lined cocking indicators with a 14 3/4-inch highly figured stock.
Estimate £10000 - 15000
