This gun has been lying in storage for the last 22 years with my gunsmith largely because I had no ammo for it (I live in a forgotten part of Asia). It was given to me by my eldest uncle and came with a story attached which I will tell if anyone is interested although I cannot vouch for its veracity.
I finally got hold of some ammo and have got it out for use.
It is one plain gun which has been re-blued in the past. It locks up tight and has mirror bores.The barrels are 26" long and have a raised Churchill rib. It weighs just 5lbs 4.32oz. and is very well balanced.
The chamber walls are considerably thinner than those of a normal 2 1/2" 12ga.. Obviously most guns have a lot of safety built into them given that this and the 2 1/2" have the same proof pressures.
The one cormorant I shot, as it tried to leg it after marauding my catfish ponds, at some 35 yards, did not complain about its efficacy.
I really would like to know when it was built and any other info about it. Thanks in advance.
All the best
