Alex Martin o/u 12 bore (early 2000s) - hand built (Hampshire)


Recommended Posts

This is a hand built gun, entirely hand engraved by the master engraver, Lorenzo Gamba.  My understanding was that this was retailed at just under £10,000 in the early 2000s.  I had it looked over by a local respected gunsmith last year who rectified any minor issues.  

It has 29 1/4" barrels  with a 6mm top rib, 2 3/4" chambers, improved and 1/4 choke.  Auto safety (removable).  15 1/2" highly figured stock.  Weight 7lbs 13oz.  The action is very similar to a Perazzi MX8 with a drop out trigger group.  

I have a couple of exciting projects in mind for this year that will require cabinet space, so I am having a bit of a clear out and I am reluctantly contemplating parting with this.  One additional factor is that I've lost a bit of weight, so I am now finding this doesn't fit me quite as well as it did so rather than adjust it, I thought I'd see whether there was any interest in it.

This gun shoots superbly.  Really very pointable and a joy to hold.

I'm struggling to price this because I don't really want to sell it.  Perhaps £4,250 would be reasonable for a hand built and hand engraved modern gun of this quality.
