Description: Very handsome W.J. Jeffrey 12 bore with 30” nitro steel barrels and extensive rose & scoll engraving with loads of original case coloring. Jeffrey no. 5859 was made 1896 – 97. Although Jeffreys earned its reputation for it superb rifles it also is known for its equally high quality shotguns. This one has a nicely figured European walnut stock and forearm. Beautiful Woodward-style arcaded fences. Double triggers, ejectors, and manual safety. Weighs 6lb 12oz. *** The 30” nitro steel barrels are chambered for 2-3/4” shotshells. They are topped by a raised solid concave gamestyle rib. The rib is inscribed “W. J. Jeffrey & Co. 13 King Street St. James’ London”. The barrel bluing is generally good but there is some thinning of the bluing on the sides of the chamber areas of both barrels.

Minimum wall thickness is 0.024. Ideal choking for upland gunning and clays. *** The straight grip stock and splinter forearm are made of nicely figured European walnut. The checkering is crisp.
