figgy Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Beautiful gun, I'd love one but the blued steel version from a few years ago. Stunning lines due to being a side lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 One was given as a prize in the countryside alliance raffle in 2017 I think. There's a bit of a story about it on sd forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Many of the gunmakers make a small number of 'flagship' statement items. I posted in another thread that Kreighoff do a 'gun of the year' and Beretta have done some - as have some of the English makers. H & H did a few large 'sets' with 5 or 6 guns in a huge furniture style display cabinet. Westley Richards have done some very fancy work for American collectors in recent years. They are made mainly for collectors (as opposed to shooters) and to show off the skills available (which wealthy clients may wish to draw on) for a commission gun. In a way - they are a bit like some of the 'design studies' that used to feature at motor shows etc. There is no doubt that great skill is involved, and I suspect that they are profitable .......... but not really something I'd aspire to own.

kevin55 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Gallyon are doing something that looks to be very nice The focus will be on creating a world class English gun, hand finished to exacting standards, desirable in the field and valued as an heirloom. https://gallyon.com/heritage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a hard path, Boxhall and Edmiston tried - and sadly had to close the business. http://www.boxallandedmiston.co.uk/ A.A. Brown make a nice traditional English gun, still truly hand made. https://www.aabrownandsons.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure why the photo is upside down, sorry! That is absolutely perfect. I’ve always fancied a side lever. Being a southpaw, I would imagine that the lever on the right hand side would work very well. Well out of my price range unfortunately.

Bungle The Bear Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Not to my taste - but a stunning bit of work, there’s a trigger missing too, after all it’s not a proper SxS with only one trigger!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to say that I’ve just googled and Richard at 77 has just retired. OB It has a very left handed stock cast on from a right handed action and suits me as a south paw too. I was looking to move it on but whilst of relatively recent proof the barrel walls are well below recommended minimum. It was made by John Robson who was essentially an out worker for the trade and clearly a very skilled one at that. So it rather follows the thread of one off guns.
