Description:

Established in 1889, Daniel Fraser and Company was created following the dissolution of the partnership between brothers Daniel and John Fraser. A former apprentice of Alexander Henry, Daniel Fraser was a top producer of double and single guns, as well as a competitive shooter in his own right. The firm survived Daniel's passing in 1902, being run by his sons and by other purchasers, remaining today as a brand under the banner of Dickson & MacNaughton. Polished bead accented blade front sight with a platinum highlight bar installed on the ramp and a two leaf rear sight with platinum wire accents, with the rib marked "DANl FRASER & CO./4 LEITH St TERRACE/EDINBURGH", light scroll and floral engraving, an engraved "2" at the breech (repeated on the break lever) and a pair of raised dovetail mounting blocks for an unknown style of sight. Extensive scroll engraving is present on the frame, with "DANl FRASER & Co." in a ribbon on each side, sculpted recoil shields, checkered dual triggers, an automatic safety with gold and black enamel "SAFE" marking and a niter blue manual safety lockout with engraved "BOLTED" indicator. Checkered pistol grip stock, with engraved hardware on the splinter forearm, ebony grip cap, sling eyes, raised shadow-line cheekpiece and a dual panel hard rubber buttplate with a leather covered recoil absorbing insert. Length of pull is 13 3/4 inches, drop at comb is 2 inches, drop at heel is 2 7/8 inches, cast off is 1/4 inch.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% of the blue finish, showing a few small patches of spotting and light handling marks overall. The frame is excellent, with strong case colors and sharp engraving. Stock is excellent, with some minor cracking in the leather pad cover, crisp checkering and attractive grain. Mechanically excellent, with good tone to the barrels.
