12g A&D ejector by Armstrong & Co – 27″ x 2 1/2″ barrels

This Armstrong gun is likely to have been built around 1910.  Replacement barrels, which were made by Charles Boswell of London, measure 27″, with 2 1/2″ chambers and are choked 1/4 and 1/2.  The gun has Deeley box ejectors, and a concealed cross-bolt locking system.  Engraving style on the action body is rose and scroll with the Scottish thistle chiselled into the balls of the action.  The figured 14 7/8″ straight-hand stock is in good condition, although there is a small 1/8″ plug on the right-hand side which may well indicate it has been pinned at some point.  However, there is no movement in the woodwork, and the stock has a beautiful rose gold vacant escutcheon plate.  It is a clean honest gun which the previous owner had used for the last 40 years.  All in all a lovely old gun.  This gun will fire standard steel cartridges without alteration.

Disclaimer: to be clear, this gun is suitable to fire standard steel cartridges but is not proven for steel.

NB: All guns built after 1925 exported to the USA will incur an import tariff of 10%
