SOLD – Pair of 12g Round Actions by John Dickson & Son 29″ x 2 1/2″ barrels

This pair of Dicksons was built circa 1910. They have 29″ x 2 1/2″ chopper lump barrels and engraving on the actions and locks is bold acanthus, which in my opinion, is of a slightly higher quality than usual. Both guns retain traces of original hardening colour. Full restoration of the woodwork has been carried out including re-chequering and oil finishing and a 3/8” buffalo horn heel plate takes the stock measurements out to 14 5/8”.   A full mechanical overhaul has been carried out, including making and engraving new screws, re-chequering and blueing the safety buttons, which have come out beautifully, and polishing and blacking the furniture. Internally, the barrel condition is good with a few marks and repaired dents over the years. You’ll see from the wall thicknesses that both guns have an 18 thou spot and, as a result, the owner decided not to polish and black the barrels. They really are beautiful and I think they’ll make a fabulous pair of guns for somebody. It appears their value has increased over the years as you will see from a document, kindly supplied by Dickson’s, in the case stating they cost £88 when built!
