Reduced from £7,250 to £6,450 this lovely 12g sidelock ejector by Alex Martin with 28" steel barrels and a 15" straight-hand stock with 2 1/2" chambers. This gun is built circa 1915, it has Celtic and zoomorphic engraving, a highly figured stock and is number 2 of a pair with third locking grip to barrel.

20g A&DNEj by John Wilkes.  This beautiful little gun has just passed a 2 3/4" nitro proof test, unbelievable quality for a non ejector and I'm 99% sure that it was engraved by Jack Sumner.

12g bar-in-wood Purdey Hammer gun with 30" Damascus barrels which has just gone through London nitro proof at 2 3/4"; the minimum wall thickness is 26 Thou in both bores.  It has an Anson fore-end and Stanton locks with pierced four pin bridles.   It is top lever opening and it will open & close with the right lock cocked.  Wood is still proud of metal work!

Pair of 12g Sidelock Ejector's by Alex Martin built circa 1910, 14 3/4" straight hand stocks with 28" Chopperlump steel barrels and 2 3/4" chambers.  These guns are in their brass bound, leather maker's case with trade label, named accessories, snap caps and oil bottle etc.

Today I bought a beautiful .410 A&DNEj by Westley Richards in its maker's canvas case with trade label.  Top lever opening, Deeley fore-end catch, rocker safe system and is about to be re-proofed, overhauled, barrels blacked etc.  No extension pieces to stock, rather grubby at present, but will scrub up well. This gun will appear on the website in a month or two.  If anyone out there is interested, drop me an email (it's not spoken for yet).
