12 GAUGE WILLIAM POWELL & SON—NITRO PROOFED DAMASCUS

Description:
This sale offers a 12 gauge William Powell & Son shotgun, serial number 11284, equipped with 30” Damascus barrels chambered for 2 ½” shells and choked improved cylinder (.008) and skeet 2 (.012).  The address on the rib is William Powell & Son, 35 Carr’s Ln., Birmingham.  This gun definitely won’t win any beauty contests but is a solid gun by a well known Birmingham gunmaker.  It locks up tight and is on face.  The barrels show a nice Damascus pattern and have slightly dark but very good bores.  The finish on the barrels remains very good.  The water table is marked nitro proof for 1 1/4 oz shot.  This is an ejector gun.  However, the right ejector doesn’t work.  It could be an easy fix.  The finish on the receiver has turned silver and is marked William Powell & Son. The stock and forend are actually in good condition with an English style grip and nice checkering with a Kick Eez recoil pad. This would be a great fix’er upper for a vintager out there.  This is a pre-1898 gun that will ship directly to the buyer.
