John Dickson Rare Late Production Push-Forward UnderLever Hammergun
Description:
Here is a beautiful and unusual John Dickson push-forward underlever hammergun. According to Donald Dallas (author and authority on Dickson, Alexander Henry, Boss and others), this example was begun and partially completed in 1877, then finished to the customer's specifications in 1897. It was built on a rare "self-cocking" T. Southgate & J. Woodward patent 'Automatic' action, patent no. 600 of 14th February 1876. (The self-cocking feature on this gun is not operational.) The 30" barrels have 2 3/4" chambers and have been sleeved to a very high standard. The bores are choked .009/.022 (about improved cylinder/modified.) The action features best quality acanthus scroll engraving. The locks are rebounding. The right hammer was replaced at some point in the gun's history. The fore-end has a very unusual recessed Anson push-rod release. The highly figured stock measures 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 14 1/16" with heel-and-toe plates. The weight is 6 lbs 13 oz.
Mr. Dallas informed me that he has never come across a fore-end release of the type found on this gun, nor is it mentioned in the Dickson records. He adds that the customer who ordered the gun had previously ordered slightly unusual guns from Dickson, which he says might explain both the fore-end catch and the fact that the customer inisted upon a hammergun at a time when hammerguns were on the verge of becoming obsolete. The Dickson ledger notes that the gun was ordered for a "Wolfe-Murray," which would be Captain George Wolfe-Murray. The Dickson research department was kind enough to share the following notes on the original owner of this beautiful gun:
"George Wolfe-Murray was born on 27 June 1876 and so this gun would have been a traditional coming of age 21st birthday gift. George was the son of Lt.-Gen. Sir James Wolfe Murray and Arabella Bray. He was educated at Harrow School, Harrow, England and followed in the family tradition of joining the military (his father and grandfather both had distinguished careers in the military). He was educated at Royal Military College, Sandhurst and gained the rank of Lieutenant in the Seaforth Highlanders He married Louisa Catherine Jones, daughter of Reverend Thomas Jones, on 21 December 1910. During the First World War he gained the rank of Temporary Captain between 1914 and 1916 in the Royal Army Service Corps. He held the office of Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for Peeblesshire, the family county, and held the office of Deputy Lieutenant (D.L.) of Peeblesshire. He died on 31 January 1955 at age 78.
George’s father was Lieutenant-General Sir James Wolfe Murray KCB (13 March 1853 – 17 October 1919), a British Army officer who served in the Fourth Anglo-Ashanti War, Second Boer War and First World War. He became Chief of the Imperial General Staff three months after the start of the First World War, but was replaced in September 1915 following the failure of the Dardanelles campaign. The Wolfe-Murray family purchased a total of eleven guns from Dickson’s between 1869 and 1922.
The business of John Dickson and Son in 1897 was at a pre-golden year’s production high with a total of 78 weapons produced for the year, only 4 of these being hammer guns."
