Hi I'm considering selling my 1897 which I bought a couple of years back as an investment as well as always wanting one. I will post pictures asap but it’s in good condition for its age serial number dates to 1907 and has a clean unpitted bore. I’m not looking to sell quickly at a knock down price so am listing at £2500 and whilst I might consider offers but in my experience there’s often a shortage of supply particularly of nice ones! If I have no issues keeping the shotgun if it pans out that way but would very much appreciate it going to a collector that can enjoy the quality and engineering of this very early piece of history, at roughly 117 years old! For those that don't know the M97/1897 its got a rich history and was used as a trench warfare firearm - please check out some vids on the interweb. Key features are the external cocking hammer that can be manually released to put the gun into a loaded "safe" condition plus it's capable of slam firing. Wood is in very good condition and although not perfect it is extremely unmarked for a 100 year old shotgun.
