Description:
Hammerless Sidelocks - This gun has an interesting story that the gun was owned by Frank Sinatra and Frank Pachmayr modified the gun for him so he could shoot better. The son of the last owner relayed to me that his father was sold this gun by Frank Pachmayr and was relayed this story by him when he purchased it. Sinatra was not known to be a particularly good shot. The shortened barrels, open chokes, vent rib, and beavertail forend lend credence to this story. Unfortunately, we have so far not been able to document this history, but the last owner certainly believed it. It is well documented that Frank Pachmayr had many Hollywood stars for customers.
*The gun is set up for Skeet with its very straight stock and skeet chokes. The LOP could be made up to 14 1/2" if a pad were added.
*We have priced this gun based only on the gun\'s features, so we are not charging a dime for the verbal history that goes with it. If you believe you could help me document the story, I would really appreciate it as I am a huge Sinatra fan and would keep the gun and use it for myself! I keep an autographed fan photo of Sinatra in my office which is by me now as I am writing about this gun.
*This gun was made in 1887 so we can ship direct! *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 5406 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
