Joseph Curry 28 Gauge SXS Beautiful Condition
Description: I have for sale a lovely little 28 gauge side by side made in the heyday of the English gun trade between the wars. This gun was built by Joseph Curry between 1936 and 1940 according to my research and is in absolutely beautiful condition. This gun was obviously built for a lady or someone of small frame seeing that the gun is set up to be light to carry and with a short length of pull. The barrels measure 26 inches with 2 1/2 inch chambers and are proofed for 5/8 ounce loads. The right barrel has a bore measuring .547 and the choke is true cylinder. The left barrel hasa bore measuring .549 and the choke is .012 or tight improved cylinder. Barrels also have ejectors which are well timed and very crisp. The stock measurements are 1 3/4 X 2 1/2 X 13 1/2 over the checkered butt. Cast is neutral. All checkering is sharp and well excecuted. Weight of this little beauty is 5 pounds 2 ounces. This gun is super tight and by all indications has been fired very little. I believe the wood has been refinished at some point simply because there are only a couple of very small marks on it anywhere. The wood has beautiful deep burn grain pattern and as I said the checkering is perfect and sharp. The metal condition is I believe all original and lovely as you can see in the attached pictures. The gun would be perfect for anyone of smaller stature or a one inch leather covered pad could be added to give you a 14 1/2 inch LOP which would work with most men. You will search long and hard to find an English 28 gauge in better condition than this one. Price of the gun is $6000 plus $50 shipping to your FFL. As always there is a three day non-firing inspection period with the buyer paying shipping charges if returned.
