Andy135 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Looks a delicate little thing, doesn't it? No idea of age but hope you enjoy shooting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 That's a lovely little gun and will be a joy to own and shoot. Rodney Ford owns the Pape records and for a small fee will be able to tell you when it was made, who for, etc. Well worth it for knowing a bit of the guns history. If you google ' Pape records Rodney Ford' you should be able to make contact. He has provided me with some interesting information on a couple of Papes that I had.

DanWalker Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Looks like it was proofed first under the 1904-1925 proof rules in Birmingham. Lovely looking gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing that she has been totally restored fairly recently-I have a Belgian gun that is virtually identical-I wonder if they were made abroad and simply finished by the Pape workshop? Bit surprised it wasn't proofed for 3" while being done-unless my eyes deceive me its stamped 65mm?
