Anyone know if the $35,500 price tag, on that gun mentioned above (13,747), is anywhere near a reasonable figure....nice gun but seems pretty optimistic?


Quote from Doug.....

"You can view that exact Lancaster O/U, serial number 13,747, shown on the Guns International site in a photo essay I wrote captions for called "How the Brits Stack Up" which appeared in the July/Aug 1994 issue of SHOOTING SPORTSMAN. In the intervening 28 years since I have learnt nowt about Lancaster O/U's."

....so...does anyone have a likely candidate for the actual maker of them in Germany? I assume they sold them in their own country....

Looks very Merkel-ish to me..........

darn I wish I had a copy of Doug's article from field and stream.....!!!!

Well , I have been doing quite a bit of research on my Lancaster pair retailed by J. Graham.
I am attempting to verify a couple of things.

1. I have read that Lancaster only made a dozen over under side lock shotguns.........does anyone know where I can verify that information...?

2. and if in fact Lancaster only made 12 of these guns, would it be possible to have the records checked for whom these guns were made for and sold to to verify the J.Graham purchase....? a long shot I'm sure but maybe possible.

any help would be much appreciated.

What is the barrel length. From my experience most of Graham's doubles were 25" guns. I recently looked at a 16 bore Lancaster U/O at a local dealer here in N.C..
I will say they are stunning guns.

Gorgeous guns. I don't like most O/U's and yours are one of the very I have even seen that I've liked
