SOLD - 12g single trigger, sidelock ejector by William Powell & Son - 26" x 2 1/2" chopperlump barrels
SOLD – This is a truly beautiful gun, built in 1927 with 26″ x 2 1/2″ chopperlump barrels, choked improved cylinder and 3/8. Engraving style on the action and locks is Powell’s best rose and scroll along with olive leaf fences, and the top rib reads “William Powell & Son, 35 Carrs Lane, Birmingham”. It has a non-selective single trigger system, which selects very positively, and the gun has a beautifully figured 14 1/4″ stock including a Silver’s pad and a half-inch spacer. Retaining about 25% of its original hardening colour, the gun is fitted with Southgate ejectors and is presented in a William Powell case full of accessories. It is described in the records as “best quality with extra finish”. I think this is probably the most attractive William Powell I have seen.
