Quakshot Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hello, im trying to find some information on a gun that ive recieved from a friend that is packing up shooting. Its a lincoln No4 3" chambered, its nothing exciting but it has a strange set of barrels like ive never seen before, and when I google lincoln No4 nothing comes up that looks like this one. The barrels are seperated instead of soldered/joined and the rib is in two pieces, just a few inches at each end of the barrel. The barrels are stamped up lincoln no4 but they just look different. Does anybody know anything about this gun? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 My Laurona 83mg has the same barrel configuration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Lincolns came in various guises . Dont forget Lincoln was just a branding name , guns sourced from different makers and sold as certain models as long as they met the basic description and specs . Several makers have used this "rib-less "style , more frequent on folding guns and 410's . Edited January 27, 2019 by Gunman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen-H Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 There's a lincoln prestige for sale in my local club when I Google it tho it's only comes up with the lincoln prestige jubilee models as if the standard prestige had never been made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I love the look of mid ribless guns; there are quite a few out there from different manufacturers. Nice looking gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Looks like to top rib has been removed as well to make it ribless quite unusual. Get fashionable Boss do it a lot but sportsarm are doing berettas Brownings and perazzi right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabel25 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Lincoln guns were made by Fabbrica Armi Isidora rizinni ( F.A.I.R ) Brother to Emiliou and Batista Rizinni ( who have / had their own factories Batista still going strong making fine guns Emiliou from memory married into the Fausti family of sisters ) which were imported by David Nickerson of Lincoln. Hence the name Started up some 25 / 30 years ago with a Lincoln no2 that set the presidence for all their future guns I have just sold my no2 side plated Lincoln with nice engraving and lovely walnut woodwork Now imported by John Rothery This gun has been made for sporting clay shooting with the idea of keeping the barrels as cool as possible I have seen the odd gun that looks similar but not many around Do you intend using it ?

If the one in your local gun club has sideplates, then I would think that it's the Jubilee Prestige model. Out of interest, what is the price ?

OB I've a picture of it on my phone but it won't let me upload it as the file is to big . It's has game scene engraving on the side plates . But it hasn't got the black and gold colouring on the side like the jubilee models that Google & gun trader show . I was told it was up for £750 but I didn't contact the seller to double check. if you like I could email the picture to you? Have managed to find a link to one on gun star that has sold https://www.gunstar.co.uk/lincoln-prestige-20-bore-gauge-over-and-under/Shotguns/903298 Edited January 28, 2019 by Stephen-H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. No sideplates. I suspect that it could have been named incorrectly by the seller. Unless of course it's an older model, no longer made.

Quakshot Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thank you all for your input. To be honest I dont intend to keep it as I have too many guns in my cabinet that I dont get time to shoot, but it certainly is quite a unique looking gun that I was intrigued by. I still cant find one quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
