For sale a very nice Charles Hellis side by side Shotgun

Description:
Up for sale is a very nice and somewhat unusual Charles Hellis and Sons LTD 12 guage, 1953
side by side ejector shotgun.  Serial number 5695.  26" nitro proof barrels, mirror bores with rib 
engraved Charles Hellis and Sons LTD Edgeware TD London England.  2 1/2 inch
chambers with Cylinder and Improved Cylinder ckokes.  Automatic safety.  Rose
and Scroll engraving on boxlocks which retain original c olor-hardening and finish.
Finished stock measures 15 7/8 inches.  The unusual aspect is the forearm.  It is a
beaver tail design with a access hole to to the push rod release catch for the forearm.
I have not seenione like this before in my tears of collecting English doubles.  This
could have been made for a person with large hands where a splinter forearm would 
not be suitable.  It is very comfortable to hold on point and attractive.
Photos represent condition and quality which is very good.

Nicely priced at $2400.
C&R FFL eligible for license holders.
