wraivi Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Afternoon All. A chap I shoot with occasionally invited me round after a pigeon blatting session and I was shown this gun. It is a family heirloom and he asked if I knew much about it. My knowledge of English gunmakers is lacking and google followed suit on this gunmaker. Just wanted to put it among the PW massive and find out if any of you can shed some light on it. The gun is a 12 bore side by side rotary underlever hammer gun with damascus barrels in good nick. It is beautifully engraved and has the serial no. 0798. Along the centre rib it is engraved..... George Fuller. Gunmakers to HRH The late prince Consort. 280 The Strand.London. Any tit bits of info or info on where I can learn more about this gun and it's makers would be appreciated. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
