Description:
Hammerless Sidelocks - Finding Dickson round actions with Damascus barrels that are in great condition and nitro proofed has become a difficult task.

Our good friend at Dickson\'s, JP Daeschler graciously shared the following history on our gun. It was delivered as No. 1 of pair on 6th August 1897 to Edward Hunter Blair of Dunskey, 6th Baronet. It would certainly be interesting to research him. I wish I had more time!

What strikes me about this immediately is the overall beauty, almost overwhelming. I am certainly attracted to the smokey and mysterious dark and elegant wood. When I pull my eyes away from the wood the perfect proportions present themselves to only be pulled into the fine and stunning engraving.

*The dimensions are great for many Americans being near what we all grew up with , 1 11/16" at comb, and 2.5" at heel. The dimensions almost all American double guns were built too so this gun will automatically feel familiar to many of us and are likely to shoot very well. *** 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: 5631 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
