Description:
Best Quality Louis Brancquaert #5 Hammer 12 gauge pigeon gun with 30" Chopper lump fluid steel barrels. Full coverage banknote scroll with Brancquaert marking on bottom of frame, probably executed by H. Corombelle, the top Belgian engraver in this time period(1900-1910). Hidden Purdey style third fastener, sideclips, figured French walnut with no splits or cracks, original 2 5/8" chambers, perfect bores that mike Left: .726, MWT= .028, choke=. .031" Right: .726, MWT= .029", choke=. 020". Wall thickness 9" Left= .042" Right= .044". Weight of gun is 7lbs. 5 ozs. Stock dimensions are 14" LOP to a checkered butt over a piece of walnut added to change pitch., 1 3/4" DAC, 1 7/8" DAH, with 3/8" cast off for the right hand. My guess is that it may have been originally built for a woman, hence the odd original pitch. SN is 908.974. DeFourney built these guns for Brancquaert and the SN reflects this fact. The bluing appears original as barrel lettering is very sharp and there is fading case color on action, but metal is very clean and engraving sharp. Hammers are the late style low profile used on the post 1900 guns. This is a very seldom seen best quality hammer model built at the tail end of the live pigeon era. $6,500 OBO
