Gun Watch Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Horsley, Thomas & Son REDUCED £250 12 gauge Shotgun Private Seller Used - Average Condition york, East Riding of Yorkshire Side by Side, -, -, 30" barrels Description Hi. I am selling my Horsley of York sidelock none ejector. It was built in 1892 and,features patented gas checks, patented block safety intercepting safety Sears and patented cocking rods. The Gun has recently been recheckered and it features some lovely wood. The metal work to the locks etc does feature some slight pitting but this all adds to the patina. The barrels have been replaced at some point to cover some external pitting but nothing untoward and are in good condition internally-. Lop is about 14.5". This gun is from an extremely collectable maker, and if you Google them they often bring in excess of 2500 at auction, many bringing nearer 5k. This one is a little loose about its face but I shot it all season with no problems. I hope I look this good at 120 year's old. Because of the condition and the fact I'm putting the money towards a project I'm only asking 250 collected from east Yorkshire. Thanks for looking. Re-duced to 250 for a quick sale!! The seller of this gun doesn't appear to be a Pigeon Watch member, to contact them please use the details on Gun Watch.

Marki Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 This is Mattslaptop. Don't trust him. He stole money from me and refuses to acknowledge any attempt to contact him. Site admin/mods can confirm my statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 No problem you have to wonder about someone that is desperate enough to steal £35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 But surely collection shouldn't be a problem for someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marki Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 You would think so, but would you trust the description? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I bought a hammer gun from Matt 2 years ago-Decent lad and would have dealings again. I recommended this gun to a friend who collects horsleys on my previous purchase. f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
