Hello All,
After waiting rather patiently for three years, during which a lot of red tape and complications with carriers ensued,
my friend Oscar received his John Robertson SLE bought at auction in Germany.
It is a 12 bore with 2.5" chambers, in extremely good condition with very nice wood, mirror bores and very tight.
Marked: "JOHN ROBERTSON, 41 ALBEMARLE STREET, PICCADILLY, LONDON, W."
It weighs 2,88 kg, very well balanced.
Serial # 773x (Apparently 1929 or 1930s vintage).
He shoots it very well and it is going to become his quail gun.
There is a small issue that I am sure someone here can shed light into: after firing both barrels it becomes rather difficult to open.
On opening it ejects both cartridges perfectly and to exactly the same spot.
The gun has not been overhauled and maybe it is just a lack of lubrication of the ejector mechanism.
Any and all comments will be appreciated.
Best,
JC
