Description:
*** SOLD *** Handsome John Dickson & Son lightweight 12 bore boxlock ejector with most of its original case coloring and a scalloped action. Elaborately engraved. Nicely figured European walnut. No. 1 of a pair. Serial no. 160xx. Made circa 1934 so “Between the Wars” quality. Auto ejectors and auto safety. Weighs 6lb even. Has been a "Safe Queen" since 1968! *** Dicksons made game guns and this is certainly a good example. Don’t let the 27” steel barrels put you off. They move quickly and accurately to the target. The barrels are chambered for 2-1/2” shotshells and nitro proofed for 1-1/8oz loads. They are topped by a raised solid tapered game style rib. The rib is inscribed “John Dickson & Son. Makers. Edinburgh”. The bores are shiny and unmolested but the blacking shows various scratches from normal usage. The right barrel is bored 0.727 with a constriction of 0.018 for Light Modified choke. Minimum wall thickness is 0.028. The left barrel is also bored 0.727 and has a constriction of 0.026 for Improved Modified choke. Minimum wall thickness is 0.028. *** The straight grip stock and splinter forearm are made of very nicely figured European walnut. The stock has a checkered butt. The checkering show moderate wear the stock shows a number of minor scratches and dings from normal usage but is otherwise sound. Stock dimensions are 14-1/2” to a checkered butt by 1-1/2” by 2”. Cast off for the righthand shooter. *** Presented in its oak & leather case with maker’s label and accessories. These include a key, cleaning rod and tools, and a metal oil bottle. Outside of case has “character” marks and the interior lining shows some wear. The handle needs to be replaced. *** This is a great light weight bird gun from the greatest Scottish gunmaker. Easy to carry for a day afield and quick swinging. It is great to carry a lightweight double with the power of 12 bore ammunition. *** Please note that the photographs are part of the description.
