E.J. CHURCHILL PREMIER QUALITY OVER UNDER PAIR
Description: BOTH GUNS ARE THE SAME DIMENSIONS 28" SOLID RIB 007 AND 014 2 3/4 DOUBLE TRIGGER EJECTORS FIELD FOREARM PISTOL GRIP CHECKERED BUTT MINT CONDITION MAKERS CASE 7LBS 4 0Z 2 DAH 1 9/16 DAC 14 1/8 LOP Matched pair E.J. Churchill O/U The Premier Quality. 12 Bore game guns. Gun I made in 1926, Gun II Made in 1929. Serial Nr. 4220 was made for Abercrombie & Fitch and 3173 for a Mr. Wilson in San Francisco. They were both originally pigeon guns with 32” barrels. They were matched up as a pair and rebarreled to 28” through Churchill, Atkin, Grant & Lang, and Don Masters chocked IC/M and probably restocked by maker, work which was done for a Danish nobleman whose coat of arms are on the escutcheon. Both guns have a full London proof. The actions of these guns are exact copies of the Woodward O&U actions, and were made by the firm of Hills, who also made the actions for Woodward. It was said at the time that Woodward built the Over & Under guns for Bob Churchill. This may be indeed true, but it is not likely, I believe Hill did all the ing and in a addition they both used the same outworkers. A marked difference is the ejector system, which differs from Woodward and shows the Churchill input, as Bob Churchill felt it needed improvement. In total only 15 Over & Under guns were built by Churchill before WWII, of which this pair is believed to be in the best condition of those remaining. One of these guns is pictured in the book “The House of Churchill” by Don Masters. SOLD |
