*Assets include full and mod choking, 2 3/4" nitro proofs, high stock for rising birds, and a solid 14 3/4" length of pull. The action features bushed firing pins, ejectors, side-clips, and obviously high-quality locks. For the super tall a pad could be added to get near 15 3/4"! This gun locks up vault tight and has excellent bores.

This is a super high quality sidelock for a bargain price.

*A client pointed out to us that the gold crown symbol represents that the owner was a member of the French Royal court. "Couronne Comtale"

*Negatives are from storage with some very fine pitting in places on the outside of the action even though it retains a good 40% original case color. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 5587 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
