*EXCEPTIONALLY RARE AND PROBABLY UNIQUE W & C SCOTT SIDELOCK EJECTOR OVER-UNDER HEAVY GAME GUN WITH ORIGINAL CASE.

*EXCEPTIONALLY RARE AND PROBABLY UNIQUE W & C SCOTT SIDELOCK EJECTOR OVER-UNDER HEAVY GAME GUN WITH ORIGINAL CASE. SN 103053. Cal. 12 Ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 30″ Steel barrels with machine matted flat raised rib with ivory front and mid beads, are engraved “W & C Scott & Son, Makers.” and “55, Victoria Street, London, S. W. 1. England.” on top bbl on either side of rib. Bottom bbl is stamped with SN. Bbl bolsters are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs for 1-1/4 oz of shot. Mid ribs are fitted with unusual coil spring ejector system with trip cam in forend. Deep case hardened action features standard dual under-lug locking with barrel bolster extensions providing additional bearing to resist the stress of firing which are fitted on the circle. Action appears to be almost completely hand-filed and fitted, and a factory letter indicates that this was a one of a kind gun made by a Scott employee, Mr. R. Bloomer, as an experimental gun. Records also indicate that the gun was purchased by a Mr. A. J. Gerrard in February 1931. Action has nicely filed beads and fence, and is slightly rounded at bottom. Sidelocks are back action. Action and lockplates are engraved with exceptionally well cut large shaded scroll at about 80% coverage. “W & C Scott & Son.” is engraved on each side of action. Action also features double triggers and automatic safety (SAFE inlaid in gold). Blued trigger guard is scroll engraved on bow with SN, scroll, and Scott castle logo on tang which extends to horn grip cap. Full pistol grip flesh-toned European walnut buttstock is darkly marbled, and measures 14-3/4″ over Silvers type pad. Stock features nicely shaped drop points, vacant gold oval on toe line, and 22 LPI point pattern checkering with mullered borders. One piece deep forend has Deeley release, horn tip, and wrap-around checkering matching buttstock. Bore diameter: top -.731, bottom -.731. Bore restrictions: top -.039, bottom -.039. Wall thickness: top -.028, bottom -.037. Drop at heel: 2-1/2″, drop at comb: 1-9/16″. Weight: 7 lbs. 9 oz, LOP 13-3/4″. Makers leather case has brass corners and brass sliding lock. Interior is lined with maroon cloth with black leather gilt embossed “W & C Scott” label. Case contains 3-pc wooden BGI cleaning rod, brush, and 2 gun socks. PROVENANCE: Article in Shooting Sportsman magazine, Nov-Dec 2010 by David Trevallion and Vic Venters outlining history of this gun. Copies of letter from Webley & Scott 1954, with factory records. Invoice copy to Gerrard Wire Tying Machine Co. for this gun in 1931. Invoice copy from Webley & Scott March 6, 1931 for restocking and gun case. CONDITION: Excellent, as completely refurbished. Bbls retain virtually all of a London quality re-black. Engraving is slightly washed. Action and lockplates retain nearly all of a re-color hardening. Stocks retain essentially all of a professional oil re-finish with a few minor marks. Checkering has been re-cut, and is fairly sharp. Bores are very fine, bright and shiny, with some evidence of some frosting. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Top ejector is a bit sluggish. Case leather is dry with areas of scuffing and grain raised by tape. Two strap holders are missing, and one is partially detached. Strap leather is dry, and tip of one is detached, but present in case. Newer handle is good. Interior cloth is fine with a few areas rubbed through from contact with gun. Label is very fine with a few minor abrasions. An unusual piece of gun-making history. 4-41893 MGM7 (22,000-32,000)
