Very nice gun.

My own Dickson was made in 1865.1D04CB4F-970B-4973-AF18-BEC9D9E10B89.jpeg.93e30059f86a7cd7fc5da4cc15a1bb54.jpeg

Lovely looking gun , I haven't been lucky enough to own a Dickson but I have got a couple of nice hammer guns , one a T Wild and the other a Midland Gun Company , nothing I like better than to sit in a bale hide on a Summers afternoon with just the basics out and giving the hammer gun a day out doing what it was made for .

Not forgetting the good bag by the op with his stunning gun , nice to see them still in use in these days of modern firearms .

Thank you for the comments on the gun. The plan is to use it for everything over the next five years assuming lead shot is phased out. There was a really flat light the other evening which made photographing the, usually difficult, metal parts quite straightforward.

Beautiful engraving, thanks for posting. Will be a shame to retire her in 5 years.

Why would he retire the gun in five years?

Standard steel won’t hurt it and bismuth certainly won’t.

I just assumed by the OPs comment of ‘5 years’ that he was only shooting it until the ban. I’ll be honest that I haven’t much experience of non toxic - can you even get steel / bismuth shells less than 2 3/4” at the moment?
