Stunning John Dickson & Son Best Quality Massive 4 Bore Rotary Under Lever Double Barrel Shotgun
CONDITION: Very good retaining 98% of the reblued finish with the rib signature softened, breech end engraving worn, small patch rubbed bright on the underside of the left barrel. The action and locks retain 20% original casehardened
finish concentrated in the sheltered areas, and the balance has dark gray patina. The engraving is distinct. The stock is very fine and has well-defined checkering and numerous scattered handling marks. The forend has different checkering and is not numbered and has a scrape in the otherwise
crisp checkering on the bottom and some loss at the edge. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with mild age and storage related wear, and the accessories are generally very fine with minimal wear. This is an incredible larger bore double gun and the only 4 bore double gun ordered from Dickson & Son by Charles Gordon.
