SOLD - Pair of 12g Round Actions by John Dickson & Son 29" x 2 1/2" barrels
This is a matched pair of Dickson round actions with the first gun being built in 1915 and the second, built for the same man, in 1923. Engraving on the action, is of my favourite style, being bold acanthus with a large cartouche in the centre of the action reading, ‘John Dickson & Son Patent’. Chopperlump barrel dimensions are 29″ x 2 1/2″ and, unusually, there is nothing less than 24 thou in the barrel walls. Chokes are Improved Cylinder and 5/8 and each gun weigh 6lbs 13oz. The 15 1/8″ beautifully-figured stocks include about 1″ of figured buffalo horn. Gold numbers 1 and 2 appear on the top levers, barrel breech ends and the fore-end tips. Presented in their maker’s leather case with protective inner flap and outer canvas cover. One of the best pairs I have had in years.
