Absolutely first class work from the carved fences to the rose and scroll engraving. The gun has been refinished but that doesn't detract from the art. I believe it is from about 1914. If able, enlarge the pics a bit to really appreciate the work. http://www.gunsinternational.com/BEAUTIFUL-W-C-SCOTT-PRE-WAR-16GA-SIDELOCK.cfm?gun_id=100227312 John McCain is my war hero.

The blurb is incorrect in stating it was more expensive than a contemporary Purdey. The model he is thinking of is the Excellentia and the later bar action pigeon guns of de lux quality. Looks to be a fair price for a decent gun as far as one can tell from limited photos. www.vintageguns.co.uk
