Built with blued steel barrels featuring a single bead sight on the matted solid rib, "WILLIAM FORD." and "15. St MARY'S ROW. BIRMINGHAM" marked on the right and left tubes respectively, period Birmingham nitro proofs and import mark on the flats, choke constrictions of .000/.031 inches, and chambers proofed for "1 1/2" oz shot (3 inch) with automatic ejectors. The barrels are mated to a boxlock action which displays attractive scroll engraving with pheasants on the left and a setter on the right as well as "WILLIAM FORD" on either side. The gun features double triggers and a tang mounted safety (currently stuck in fire position). The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and a round knob pistol grip stock with teardrop carved drop points, blank silver inscription oval, and a leather covered recoil pad. Included is a more modern wood and leather takedown case, nickel snap caps, oiler, extra strikers, and cleaning tools. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 3/16 inch drop at heel; 15 3/16 inch length of pull; cast-off; weight 7 lbs. 10 oz.

Very fine, retaining 99% reapplied blue on the barrels, smooth grey patina on the action, faded blue on the lower tang, and light handling evidence. The revarnished wood is very fine with a few light dings and scratches and crisp checkering. The case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
