Description:
This is a rare gun, indeed. Almost as rare as the pair of Woodwards that I recently listed. It's a Best Quality Sidelock Hammer Bar In Wood Pigeon Gun made by James Lang in 1891. James Lang sold his interest in Joseph Lang and Sons and started on his own for a brief period in the early 1880s. I don't think that he made more than a couple of hundred guns but the few that I have seen have all been very nice. This gun is no exception. It has original 30 inch barrels with a high pigeon rib. The hammers on the lgun disappear from the line of sight when they are cocked. I purchased the gun from Australia and the stock was broken and had two steel side bolsters holding it together. I was planning to have it restocked but the wood was just too nice. I sent it to my favorite stocker and he was able to bring it back to life. It took two pieces of maple, a lot of fiberglass, and recheckering but is now very strong and the wood is absolutely beautiful. I was also able to find a period Westley Richards hammer gun case that was lovingly refurbished by a gentleman in England that is the perfect compliment to the gun. At about 7 lbs 8 ounces it balances like a much lighter gun and is a joy to shoot!
