*SPLENDID W & C. SCOTT PREMIER SIDELOCK EJECTOR LIGHT GAME GUN WITH EXTRA BARRELS. SN 100642. (1914) Cal. 20 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 25″ Bbls. This very fine top of the line shotgun has two sets of bbls, the original being Damascus with flat, matted rib with square crossbolt extension, engraved “W & C. Scott & Son. Makers The Premier” on top of right bbl, and with Scotts Schaftesbury Avenue address on left. Bbl flats are stamped with London nitro proofs for 1 oz of shot and long chambers. Bottoms of bbls are stamped with SN and “2-3/4″ Shell”. Newly made (London proof 2000) steel chopper lump bbls are stamped with London proofs for 70mm chambers with W & C. Scott name and address on tops. Small, round body, case hardened, sidelock action is stocked to the fences and features automatic safety, double triggers, Scott’s square crossbolt third fastener, side clips, patent gas checks, and automatic ejectors. Action is engraved with very well cut medium scroll outlining detailed vignettes of game birds and dogs, with flying goose and group of ducks on bottom; quail, snipe, and a pointer on left lock; and ducks, woodcock, and setter on right. Fences, top of action, and pivot of blued top lever are carved with very well cut and shaded semi-relief scrolled acanthus. This treatment continues up onto rib extension. “W & C Scott and Son” is on each lockplate. SN is at grip of blued trigger guard, having a pair of grouse on bow. Exceptional, beautifully marbled and nicely figured European walnut semi pistol grip, round knob, buttstock with nicely shaped drop points, measures 15″ over dark brown leather-covered pad. Borderless fleur-di-lis pattern checkering is at grip and surrounds large inlaid gold shield at top. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson push button release. Damascus bbls: Bore diameter: left -.620, right -.620. Bore restrictions: left -.027, right -.012. Wall thickness: left -.017, right -.022. Drop at heel: 2-3/16″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 5 lbs. 13 oz, LOP 15″. Steel bbls: Bore diameter: left -.612, right -.612. Bore restrictions: left -.027, right -.016. Wall thickness: left -.035, right -.032. Drop at heel: 2-3/16″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 5 lbs. 12 oz, LOP 15″. CONDITION: Excellent, as refurbished. Damascus bbls retain nearly all of a fine brown finish with fair definition to pattern, engraving slightly washed. Exceptionally fine newly made steel bbls retain essentially all of their orig “Best” London black. Action retains traces of its orig case hardening color in protected areas, but is mostly a pleasing silver to pewter gray. Top lever and trigger guard retain nearly all of their re-blued finish, engraving of top lever appears to have been picked up. All pinheads have temper blue. Lock pin shows use. Exceptional “Best” quality (probably London made when bbls were fitted), new stocks rate excellent plus, with only a few minor handling marks in their lustrous hand rubbed oil finish. Exceptional, evenly cut checkering shows very little wear. Action is tight. Both sets of bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time. Bores are excellent. Left bbl of Damascus set shows evidence of dent being raised at bottom of left bbl. One beautiful little gun. 4-46828 MGM173 (7,500-12,500)
