*FINELY REFURBISHED BOSS SIDELOCK EJECTOR GAME GUN, NUMBER 1 OF A PAIR.

SN 4451/4551. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 25″ Dovetailed bbls are engraved “New Barrels By Churchill (Gunmakers) London.” on concave game rib. “1” is gold inlaid at rear of bbls, on top lever, and on forend tip. Bbl flats are stamped with London nitro proofs for 2-3/4″ chambers. SN “4551” is engraved on the bottom of each bbl, and stamped on loop. (Water table is stamped “4451” and was undoubtedly a mistake by the Boss factory when these guns were originally made and sold as a trio. Because of this disparity the guns are now being sold separately. What is obviously intended to be the correct number “4551” is engraved in relief on trigger guard at grip, and stamped on interiors of forend iron and lockplates.) Case hardened square backed sidelock action features automatic safety, gold band tumbler end cocking indicators, and double triggers. Action is engraved in Boss house style with exceptionally well cut small scroll surrounding 18 rose bouquets, most likely executed by noted engraver to the trade, Jack Sumner. “BOSS’S PATENT” is on each side of action, and “Boss & Co” is in scrolled riband at front of each lockplate. Nicely streaked and lightly figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 15-1/4″ over checkered wood butt, and features drop points, point pattern checkering with mullered borders, and a vacant gold oval on toe line. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Bore diameter: left-.729, right -.729. Bore restrictions: left -.023 (Mod), right -.007 (IC). Minimum wall thickness: left -.032, right -.033. Drop at heel: 2-3/16″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 6 lbs. 9 oz. LOP: 15-1/4″. CONDITION: Excellent, near new, as completely refurbished by Churchill, with beautifully struck new bbls and London “best” buttstock and forend. Action re-hardened, most likely by St. Ledger, and gun retains essentially all of those finishes, with only a few very light handling marks on wood and metal. Bores are excellent. Mechanically crisp. Ejectors are perfectly timed. 4-51430 MGM78 (12,500-17,500) – Lot 2193
