Gun Watch Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hellis, Chas £495 16 gauge Shotgun Private Seller Used - Very Good Condition Herne Bay, Kent Side by Side, Improved Cylinder, 3/4 Choke, 28" barrels Description For sale is my cracking little 16 bore Charles Hellis BLNE. The records indicate that it was made in 1931 for `Thesiger`. It is understood, but not yet proved, to be Sir William Patrick Thesiger (1910-2003)the intrepid explorer and author. The gun was reproofed in 1975 and appears to have had very little use since then. The bores are good, action tight, blacking good and the stock has some good figuring as hopefully seen in the photos. The rib is engraved `Charles Hellis & Son, 119 Edgeware Road, Hyde Park, London W`. LOP is 14 1/4 inches. Weight 5lbs 14oz. I am open to sensible offers, would prefer face to face but can be RFD`d at buyers expense. Thanks for looking. This gun is being sold by Pigeon Watch member Old Boggy.

Mr.C Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Typo O.B, it was Wilfred Thesiger. Wouldn't normally bother but the man was a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Typo O.B, it was Wilfred Thesiger. Wouldn't normally bother but the man was a legend. Thanks Mr.C, you are of course quite right. Must really check my posts in more detail. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I have managed, following Danger-mouse`s step by step guide to post some photos of my Hellis. I only hope that they can be viewed as I most unsuccessfully attached them when placing the advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
