Wow, so beautiful!

I bought a composed pair of Stephen Grant & Sons sidelock ejectors. And they will be shooting for the first time this season. Gun no:2 is choked Cylinder and 3/4 and have 30" barrels. Gun no:1 is choked half and half and have 30.25" barrels. They are absolutely lovely guns, the only thing i dont like is that they dont have an original maker's case and they are in a double case with Holland & Holland label. Here are the pics:














And some info from the maker's records:


Dear Kemal


Thank you for your enquiry. I have detailed below what appears in the ledgers.



6277 � Made for an A.Asher Esq MP circa 1891. Breach loading, centrefire with 30 inch barrels.



8015 � Made for an H.W Gilbey Esq in 1915. Breach, loading centrefire, hammerless ejector with 30 1/8� barrels.



Hope this is of interest.



Kind regards

And also another gun i snapped this year is this William Griffiths BLE with 30" damascus barrels. I havent fired a shot with it yet either. This one is choked CYL and 1/2. Some pics:









Though i couldnt find any info about this gun, i dunno if the records still exist/and if so who are keeping them.

All the best!

I need to find a case like that. Great guns!

Lovely guns Kem. I looks like it's been a good year in acquisitions for you.

It definitely has been a good year canvasback. Wishing everyone a good hunting season.

Best

Kem
