Description:
Hammerless Sidelocks - This French sidelock intrigues me. It has almost no engraving but on the trigger guard there is elaborate gold intertwined initials (R within an R) with a large gold crown with many (9) points. We were taught in the trade that the more points on the crown the higher the level of royalty. This must have been owned by someone fairly high up the chain.
*Assets include full and mod choking, 2 3/4" nitro proofs, high stock for rising birds, and a solid 14 3/4" length of pull. The action features bushed firing pins, ejectors, side-clips, and obviously high-quality locks. For the super tall a pad could be added to get near 15 3/4"! This gun locks up vault tight and has excellent bores.
This is a super high quality sidelock for a bargain price.
*A client pointed out to us that the gold crown symbol represents that the owner was a member of the French Royal court. "Couronne Comtale"
*Negatives are from storage with some very fine pitting in places on the outside of the action even though it retains a good 40% original case color. *** 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: 5587 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
