Description:
Watson Bros. BEST SLE 28ga - 27” - IC/M - DT - Checkered Butt - Splinter - K.L. Smith Engraved in Magnificent English Custom Scroll - this is an uplander's dream gun - slender and sleek - beautiful with the finest accoutrements in detail and design 

Further Notes:
Mike Louca is the foremost Barrel Smith, extant.  Watson Brothers was purchased, the name, from Atkin, Grant, and Lang about 1988 when Mike was still working at Purdey as the lead barrel maker.  Watson Brothers is the last gunmaker owned English Gun builder in England. 

Watson Brothers truly carries on the British Bespoke Gunmaking tradition - this gun is built on a modified Beesley Action, the same action on which the Purdey SXS is built.  The innovation is beyond cool.  He has changed the ejectors, massive improvement, triggers, and barrels.  One could easily argue that this is the finest English gun made today.
