mickyh Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Saw a gun at a clay shoot a few months ago and said to the chap if you ever want to sell it please call me. Well..... Just found out this gun was part -exchanged to a Yorksire Gunshop within the last month. It was an Anderson of Malton. Hammer side by side with Damascus Barrels 20 bore. I wish I could find it ! Any of you Yorkshire based people come across it in a local Gunshop, would you post please. I've searched for ages to no avail. Im guessing the price will be a lot more now ! A long shot I know. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyh Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 It was definitely part exed. In the North. And it has Damascus Barrels. But thank you all again anyway. I know what he paid for it. I know he didn't get near that on the part ex. And I know I'll have to pay over the odds now ! I was on holiday when he swapped the gun, his Grandson couldn't get on with the Hammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 What clay club was it, might help with where to start your search. In North Yorkshire the first two if call would be Gilsan sports and swillington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
