During my google searches,I came across Excellentia's that had minimal engraving,finally came across two which matched the engraving on mine,both of which referenced the Kell engraving,still searching for actual documentation of model,one of the guns was on gunsinternational,I belive the other was Bass Pro Springfiled gun shop,now that our liberal office manager killed my lunch time searches of gun sites,by not allowing us construction types to surf guns,gambling etc,on company copmputer(pretty sad for an electricalcontracting firm)I'm forced to search in the evenings.

Haven't given much thought as to selling price,what would you offer. To give you history of gun,My uncle now deceased,avid waterfowler here in the peoples republic of maryland,susquehanna flats/chesapeake bay area,had the gun. I'm 51 years old,had hunted with my uncle and father many times when I was in my teens ,but had never heard anything about this particular gun.My uncle was all ways with his Winchester Super x pump.I received the scott roughly 20 years ago,what got me interested again was that his son recently gave me the old Ithaca and his trusty SuperX,I did take the Super X out this year and busted several geese and ducks.The scott which my aunt gave me spent several years in there attic I'm sure in excessive heat.Thus causing rib to start to lift in center of barrels(30"),checkering is there but not really pronounced,if you need more pictures send me an email,and I'll get you more,and use macro lense on camera for more detailed shots if.I did snap a few primers in her several years ago,but haven't done any recently.

duckone,
Records show that the Scott Excellentia Triplex was in production from 1884-1890.In 1884 Harry Kell was 14 years old joining his fathers business.The most likely engraver of your gun was:
James Charles Scott a member of the Scott Family, who following art studies,focused his outstanding talents on engraving Scott Guns.In 1887 James became head of the family business.
For further info on the Scott family see Douglas Tates book,"The Birmingham Gun Makers." Incuded in the book are some excellent pictures of a "Scott Excellentia Triplex", which I believe at one time resided in my collection.
