Description:
 Gentlemen, for sale is a William Read and Sons, 20 gauge double barrel shotgun. “William Read & Sons of Boston", a large retailer of European shotguns in the late 1800's who also had their own line of shotguns. This company also imported many brands of high grade English and Belgium shotguns. I would estimate this gun was made in the 1920’s or 1930’s. This is a beautiful gun in excellent condition made in Belgium.  The wood is in very good condition with only a few handling marks.   Bluing is an excellent dark blue. Specifications are as follows: 27 1/2 inch barrels, fixed cyl and imp cyl chokes, 2 1/2”chambers, original butt plate, beautiful case color, extractors, select triggers, high rib, drop is about 3” and 14 LOP. The weight of the gun is only 5 lbs. 10 ozs. It would be a great piece to carry in the field all day.  The 20 gauge with these open chokes be great for quail, upland bird, or pheasants. This weapon is a great shooter or collector’s piece. You don’t want to miss out on this beautiful gun. Good luck, and thanks for looking. Flat shipping fee of $60. Reasonably priced at $1595.00.
