This pair of 12g round actions by John Dickson & Son has 28″ x 2 3/4″ chopperlump barrels, and was built at the turn of the last century. Having been in the same family since new, originally owned by a Lieutenant Colonel, the guns are very well travelled as you will see from the pictures, showing labels for Cairo and Bombay. The number 1 gun has new chopperlump barrels fitted by the makers, with the number 2 gun having its original Damascus barrels sleeved. Both guns are 2 3/4″ and will be capable of firing standard steel, and despite one pair of barrels being sleeved, there is only an ounce of difference in weight between them. Straight-hand 14 1/2″ stocks are very well matched, original and beautifully figured. Inlaid into the fore-end woods is a silver 1 & 2 and this is also engraved on the breech end of the barrels and on the top levers. Engraving style is Dickson’s bold acanthus with “John Dickson & Son Patent” engraved in a scrolling banner on the side of the action and chequering on the front trigger blades. A full mechanical overhaul has been carried out, making these guns a reliable pair for someone. Despite the barrel alterations, the guns are pretty much as they left Dickson’s workshop and they are presented in their original leather case with trade label.

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