Description:
   ***  SOLD   ***   This Joseph Harkom & Son bar action hammergun represents a rare opportunity to buy a recemtly restored hammer double from one of the top tier Scottish gunmakers. Serial number 1210 was made in Edinburgh in 1871. Number 1 of a pair. Rebarrelled by the maker(serial number 2395) in 1904 with 30” nitro steel it has extractors and double triggers. Frame is marked "Joseph Harkom & Son". Faint traces of the original case coloring remain. Excellent mechanical condition. Weight 6lb 10oz.   ***   The 30” nitro steel barrels were chambered and London reproofed for 2-3/4” cartridges sometime after 1989. The right barrel is bored 0.730 with a constriction of 0.004 for Improved Cylinder choke. Minimum wall thickness is 0.026. The left barrel is bored 0.730 with a constriction of 0.017 for Half choke.

The dimensions are 15” including a 1” brown leather pad by 1-1/2” by 2-1/4”. Cast off for the right hand shooter.   ***   The tip of the “ear’ on the right hammer was broken but has been expertly repaired.   ***   Nicely cased in a leather case with maker’s label, charge card, snap caps, mahogany cleaning rod, nipple wrench, and wedge forend fastener removal tool. If you’ve ever been on a Scottish grouse moor you already know why you should own this gun.   ***   Buyer is responsible for all shipping, insurance, and any other related charges. I give a 3-day non-firing inspection period and will only accept returns at buyer’s expense if the gun is not as described in the listing.   ***   See this great gun and other fine doubles at the MacNab booth at the Southern Side-By-Side at Backwoods Quail in Georgetown, SC on October 23rd – 25th 2015.
