A beautiful best quality sidelock ejector by Thomas Horsley of York, considered by many to be the premier provincial gunmaker.  This example comes in an excellent case with a second set of barrels.  The original barrels are 28" with 2 1/2" chambers, choked .006/.020.  The rib is engraved: THOMAS HORSLEY & SON, MAKERS, YORK.  The second set is also 28" and the chambers are 2 3/4".  The rib is engraved: NEW BARRELS BY WILLIAM POWELL & SON, 35 CARRS LANE, BIRMINGHAM.  They are choked .017/.029.  (Please note: the second set are not replacements, but additions by a renowned maker.)  The action features best bouquet-and-scroll engraving.  The fore-end has an Anson Patent release.  This gun is stocked to the fences (most unusual for a Horsley) and the highly figured stock measures 1 ½” x 2 ¼” x 15” with cast off.  The weight (with the original barrels) is 6 lbs 6 oz, and (with the second) 6 lbs 11 oz.  A wonderful double from a great maker.
