Factory Engraved Alexander Henry Side Lock Double Barrel Shotgun

Blued barrels with solid rib (rib marking illegible) and single steel bead, 2 1/2 inch chambers with ejectors, improved cylinder/extra full chokes, and 1976 London reproof mark on the flats (originally proofed in Birmingham). Engraved side lock action with 50% coverage engraving and "ALEX HENRY & Co." maker's mark on both locks. Classic Arms import mark on the underside of the barrels near the muzzle. Finely checkered straight grip stock and splinter forend with blank silver inscription oval. Bore and stock measurements: bores 9 inches from the breech both proved at .729 and measure .734/.737 inches; chokes .012/.041 inches; minimum wall thickness .020/.027 inches; drop at comb 1 1/2 inches; drop at heel 2 inches; length of pull 15 1/4 inches; cast-off; weight 6lbs 9oz.

ConditionVery fine as professionally refinished, retaining 90% blue finish on the barrel, flashes of case colors in the protected areas, some minor pitting on the fences and receiver, wear along the left barrel, and the action is slightly off face. The stock very fine with a few small nicks and crisp checkering, the forend is fine with a small chip on the left and slightly loose in its fitting. Mechanically excellent.
