Features a single brass bead on a solid concave matte rib, 2-3/4" chambers, choked improved modified/improved modified with ejectors. The rib is marked "JAMES MACNAUGHTON, 21 FREDERICK STREET, EDINBURGH" followed by "THE EDINBURGH GUN". MacNaughton set up business in 1864 in Edinburgh and won acclaim for the "Lock Fast Breechloader" and "Edinburgh Patent Hammerless Ejector", patented in 1879. 1 3/4 inches of the breech end of the rib are engraved with floral scroll designs. The action, trigger guard, break lever and lower tang are decorated with a vine, leaf and grape motif. Each side of the action is marked "MACNAUGHTON" . Directly to the right of the triggers is signed "B. BARA". The barrels are blue with casehardened remaining parts. Double triggers, tang mounted automatic safety with gold "SAFE" and mounted with a very nicely figured multi-point checkered walnut splinter forearm and straight grip stock with a leather recoil pad and gold initial oval. The bores are .728. The drop at heel is 1-1/2" and drop at comb is 1-1/4". Cast off 1/4" and toe out 7/8". Length of pull is 15". The shotgun comes in a oak and leather Huey takedown case with brass corner protectors and hardware, leather straps and handle. The lining is royal blue and there is a James MacNaughton label affixed to the inside of the lid. In the case is a ivory handled horse hair brush, a nickel MacNaughton oiler and two MacNaughton snap caps.

Professionally refurbished with 99% blue finish remaining on the barrels. The water table, protected areas of the break lever and inside of the trigger guard retain almost all of the bright case colors with a smooth gray patina on the remaining metal surfaces. The wood shows only light handling/storage marks and very crisp checkering. The engraving and markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically fine. The case and accessories are excellent.
