Nice two barrel set with the Watson. You can just see where someone at the Proof House accidently picked up the 1 1/4 oz. stamp and used that before realising the mistake and over stamping with 1 5/8 oz. Don't see many with that mark, the next common stamp would be for 1 1/2 oz.
eeb, sounds as if you have an old live pigeon gun. I have a hammer Jeffrey pigeon gun. Chances are that it will be well choked. Lagopus.....
I have wondered if it was a pigeon gun because it is stocked fairly high, like 1 1/2" by 2 1/4"; however, the auto safety makes me think it's a waterfowler. It was made in 1937 and has the Made in England stamped on the watertable, which I assume was to designate it made for export. Great clays gun. The chokes should be opened, but I can't bring myself to do it. I looked at (and lusted over) a hammer Jeffrey on Digory Haddoke's website. Too rich for me, but what a gun.
