Description:
SIMPSON SIDEPLATED BOXLOCK GAME GUN TWO GAUGE SET (12/16) WITH ATTRACTIVE INLAY AND FITTED LEATHER CASE
Two sets of 28-1/2 " Shoe lump bbls in 12 and 16 Gauge are marked "SIMPSON, SUHL" on slightly raised, matted, game ribs. Tops of bbls are marked
"SPEZIAL-GEWEHRLAUFZTAHL" There are 1-1/2" triangles of scroll engraving at breech ends. Bbl flats are stamped with German nitro proofs, with proof date of 2/58.
Bottoms of front lumps are engraved with "12" and "16" as approate to each bbl. Coin finished boxlock action is fitted with very elaborately engraved sideplates, and feature
an automatic safety, crossbolt third fastner, side clips, and dbl triggers. Action is finely engraved with over 90% coverage well cut scroll within gold inlaid wire borders. This scroll surrounds a running hare on trigger plate. Sideplates are fully engraved with game scenes; a fox vexing two lazy ducks, beginning to take flight, is on left, and a setter is pointing a phesant while another flushes is on right. Very nice, lightly streaked dark European walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/2" over rubber buttplate with Simpson logo. Stock features a right hand shallow line cheekpiece and skip-line checkering. Checkering at grip and forend has relief carved oak leaves at its ends, which is further embelllished with enlays of oak leaves and acorns with line and dot borders. More of the enlay is at heel, and around buttplate, and extends to face of cheekpiece, where scrolled enlaid, leaved oak branches are being perched upon by a pair of finely done pheasant. Matching splinter ejector forends have damascened internals and Deeley releases. Bottoms of forends are each engraved as to the gauge as well are on the irons, and feature more of the oak leaf and acorn enlay.
Black/Grey leather case.
