sandersj89 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Thought I would inject a bit of culture to the boards...... All you boys with your foreign over and unders and semi autos though you might like to see a real gun...... This is my Agnew 12bore side by side. Agnew were an English maker from Exeter in the South West, and seeing as I am a Devonian it seemed a sensible choice. I have owned this gun for over 25 years and bought it with some money my god father left me when he passed away. He was a true shooting gentleman so it is a nice legacy to him. I use this gun for everything from driven pheasant to rabbiting with the lamp so it gets used 12 months a year. It is already already pushing 100 years old but should see me out if looked after well.

sandersj89 Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 lovely wood great s/s, is it an ejector? No it is a non ejector but I can mange pretty well most of the time. I suffered yesterday on one drive a little as we had a couple of mad flushes. At one point I estimate I had 40 birds in the air heading my way. Mind you a pair of guns and a loader would have been needed!! Thanks for the comments guys though. Also if anyone has any information on the Agnew & Sons Company I would be very grateful. I have tried researching them a bit on the web but there is not a lot out there. Thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Jerry, that looks like a lovely gun. To find out more about the maker, have you thought of writing to Bill Harriman at Shooting Times? The Letters page almost always has a query from an owner seeking more information about a vintage firearm. It might be worth a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
