Patent use no. “1890” is stamped on water table. Action is engraved with traditional small scroll and rose bouquets. “John Dickson & Son” is on each side of action, and “Dickson’s Patent” is gold inlaid on trigger plate in front of trigger guard bow. Top lever and trigger guard are blued, and scroll engraved, with SN at grip. Newly made (by Purdey trained stocker, Adam Davies), exceptionally well figured, and dark marbled European walnut round knob, semi-pistol grip buttstock measures 14-7/8″ over checkered wood butt.

Action retains most of its orig case hardening color, vivid where protected, turning to silver and pewter gray at normal wear points, and on fences. Top lever is silvered slightly at thumbpiece. Trigger guard retains traces of what appears to be its orig blue. Fine replacement stock retains nearly all of its orig rubbed oil finish with a few light handling marks. Orig forend is refinished to match, checkering re-cut. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time. A fine, eminently usable example of this Scottish classic. 4-49238 MGM268 (12,500-17,500)
