12g A&DE by Frederick Beesley of London – 28″ x 2 1/2″ barrels

This beautiful London boxlock was built circa 1907 and is No 1 of a pair.  Replacement barrels were made by the makers in 1973, and the barrel tubes read, “F Beesley, 7 Bury Street, St James’s, London, England”.  The action body is signed “F Beesley, London” within a scrolling banner and the action, cover plate, guard etc. are engraved with bold foliate scroll work.  The 15″ straight-hand stock has panels and drop points and a 1″ Bakelite extension piece.  Some original hardening colour remains on the gun, and it has a full spindle lever system, a rocker safe, Southgate ejectors and intercepting sears.  Presented in a leather case with Beesley trade label. With the chokes reduced, this gun will be capable of firing standard steel cartridges.

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

NB: All guns exported to the USA will incur an import tax of 10%
