*WEBLEY & SCOTT BOXLOCK EJECTOR .410 GAME GUN WITH HERMANN GOERING CREST.

*WEBLEY & SCOTT BOXLOCK EJECTOR .410 GAME GUN WITH HERMANN GOERING CREST. SN 99145. (ca 1924) Cal. .410. 3″ Chambers. 26-1/8″ Dovetailed bbls with medium, concave, game rib, are engraved “Webley & Scott Ltd” and “Birmingham.” on tops. Bbl flats are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs for .410 and 1989 re-proofs for long chambers (3″). Small boxlock action features automatic safety (SAFE engraved), screw grip third fastener, bushed strikers, and double triggers. Action is engraved with leaf borders and flourishes of nicely cut scroll around screws and pivot pins. “Webley & Scott Ltd” is engraved on each side. Top lever, floorplate, and trigger guard are blued with border engraving and SN at grip. Lightly streaked European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-1/2″ over serrated wood butt, and features flat top point pattern checkering with mullered borders. A silver oval on toe line is engraved with mailed arm holding ring with a shield over the number “27”. This arm and ring device is the Goering family crest. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Bore diameter at muzzle: left-.404, right -.405. Wall thickness: left -.035, right -.033. Drop at heel: 2-3/16″, drop at comb: 1-3/8″. Weight: 4 lbs. 13 oz. LOP: 14-1/2″. Gun comes with German style soft leather carrying case with oval, nickel-plated medallion on closing flap, engraved “Fritz Hasse in Godesberg”. CONDITION: Very good. Bbls retain nearly all of a well done re-black, engraving left sharp. Action retains traces of orig case hardening color where protected, and is mostly pewter gray to brown. Other parts are re-blued, and retain nearly all of that blue, engraving slightly washed. Stocks retain most of what appears to be their orig finish with a number of minor marks and knocks, as would be expected from normal use. Checkering is slightly worn. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time. Case leather is supple, darkened, with some top grain loss. Straps and handles are intact, except one strap on accessory pouch. A fine light little gun with great dimensions, and an interesting history with possible connection to Hermann Goering, who had many guns in various hunting lodges across Germany during the 1930’s and early 1940’s. The significance of the “27” is unknown, possibly a rack or inventory number. Further research might prove fruitful. 4-47081 MGM18 (10,000-13,500)
