Absolutely Stunning Rococo Style Greco-Roman Fantasy Themed Brown Brothers Signed, Deep Relief Engraved, and Gold Inlaid P. V. Nelson Best Quality Sidelock Over/Under Ejector Shotgun

Lot 1288

Brown Brothers Engraved P. V. Nelson Over/Under Shotgun

Rarely does a gun so fully embody the phrase "not all art is framed" in the way that this masterpiece does. This is an absolutely stunning display of Rococo style engraving that was carried out at the highest level by some of the most skilled hands to ever pick up a set of engraving tools. This work of art is built with blued steel barrels with single brass bead sight on the smooth solid rib which marked "P. V. NELSON, LONDON, ENGLAND." in gold inlay along with floral scroll engraving and a gold inlaid putto, grey finished sections at the breech with scroll engraving on a matted gold background, 1994 dated London proofs, and 70 mm (2 3/4 inch) chambers with automatic ejectors. The grey finished sidelock action displays full coverage scroll and Greco-Roman themed relief engraving over a matted gold background with "P. V. NELSON" in banners on either side in gold. The deep relief engraving extends to the trigger guard, toplever, and both tangs. The left lockplate appears to be inspired by the "Helios Relief" at Schloss Rosenstein (Ludwig Mack, 1830), the right lockplate shows a scene with a male and female figure, three putti, and a dog that appears to be based on the myth of Meleager and Atalanta and the Calydonian wild boar hunt (see for example "Meleager and Atalanta," Rijksmuseum, c. late 17th century), and the underside displays a fine rendition of "Neptune Calming the Waves" (Adam, 1733). The trigger guard shows Demeter holding her cornucopia, and the action is interspersed with putti and flowers all over the same matted gold background. All of the engraving is masterfully executed in beautiful detail that seems to pop off of the surface with its high contrast of grey and gold as well as its immaculate fitment to the shape of the gun and the natural flow of the actions lines. The engraving evokes the same emotion one may feel while standing in an 18th century French cathedral or when laying eyes on the Trevi Fountain for the first time. The gun is signed on both lockplates at the bottom of the scenes, "J. P. Brown" on the right and "A. M. Brown" on the left for the legendary Brown brothers John and Alan. The gun features a single trigger, rolled trigger guard, and tang mounted automatic safety switch. Beautiful, exhibition quality, fancy checkered forend with carved scroll borders surrounding the checkering and engraved fittings, including an extended forend shoe and the Anson button release. The straight grip stock is of equally high quality with the same checkering and carved scroll borders, teardrop flats, "RML" inscription oval in the same style of engraving, and coin finished buttplate with a scene based on "Boreas Abducting Oreithyia" (Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, 17th c.) and extended heel plate. Includes a March 1996 dated letter from Robert M. Lee on the ordering and payment of this and two other shotguns. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proved at 18.5 mm (.728 inches) and measured at .728/.729 inches; choke constriction .009/.007 inches; minimum wall thickness .027/.028 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 5/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/8 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs 13 oz.

Terzi Signed and Engraved C.S.M.C/Galazan Over/Under Shotgun

This provocative masterpiece is exceptionally well executed and showcases subject matter not often found on a high art firearm. The piece does not show the usual intricate English rose & scroll nor does it show traditional big game scenes, in fact quite the opposite. It flies in the face of tradition, evoking the nostalgia of a 1980s music video with sex, big hair, and big cats, making this a truly special piece. This gun is built with blued steel barrels with a single gold bead front sight on the matted solid rib, "A. GALAZAN" on the left side of the upper barrel, 3 inch wedges of gold inlaid stars showing over 100 individually cut stars on either side of the upper breech, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The blued sidelock action displays a mixture of gold inlaid floral vines, a gold line and star border, and highly detailed scenes of nude women and big cats. The scenes are rendered in relief cut and then enameled to give them vibrant full color and high detail showing of the attention to detail given to both the women and the cats. The left side shows a pair of nude women laying amongst a trio of adult tigers and a single cub, the underside has another pair of nude women kneeling beneath a songbird as well as a cougar on the trigger plate, and the right side shows yet another pair of nude women among a mated pair of lions with their two cubs. The areas in between the figures are filled with silver stars and gold inlaid vegetation. The top of the action shows more than 100 gold and silver stars, some of which are surrounded by a lattice work of fine gold. The gold inlay extends to the trigger guard, both tangs, and the toplever which shows a golden rising phoenix and yet more hand cut stars in an intricate golden flower design at the base. Both sides of the action are gold inlaid with "GALAZAN", and the trigger plate is signed "M Terzi" to the right of the trigger guard for Italian Master Engraver Mario Terzi, who has executed a true work of art that is surely worthy of display in any fine arms collection. The gun features a rolled trigger guard, single nitre blued trigger, and tang mounted manual safety switch. The stock and forend are of exhibition quality with gold bordered multi-point checkering and breathtakingly beautiful floral carving with intertwining multi-colored gold wire at the tip of the forend and just behind the stock wrist, the likes of which this writer has not seen before. In addition, the forend is adorned with gold inlaid fittings and an inverted nude woman reclining on either side of the extended shoe. The stock has a blank carved gold initial oval and a blued skeleton buttplate with yet more exceptional gold inlay around a gold bordered checkered bare butt. This fantastic gun is pictured and described on pages 216-220 of Stephen Lamboy and Elena Micheli-Lamboy's "Mario Terzi: Master Engraver" along with many other examples of similar works covering two of his favorite subject matters, nudes and dangerous cats. Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech measure .665/.666 inches; choke constriction .038/.038 inches; minimum wall thickness .027/.028 inches; 1 3/8 inch drop at comb; 2 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs 7 oz.
