This used over-under 12-gauge shotgun is listed as made in London circa 1961, with 28-inch nitro-proofed barrels. It has a solid narrow rib with a matted surface, 2 3/4-inch chambers and fixed chokes. The sidelock action is fully engraved and case-hardened, with cocking indicators, auto-ejectors and a single non-selective trigger. The walnut stock has a 14 1/4-inch length of pull and gold-inlaid initials on the belly.

For a California buyer this is a collector's British over-under, and its interest lies in the London making, the case-hardened sidelock and the original leather case. The listing rates the condition as near excellent for its age, with minor handling marks on the wood and light scuffs on the metal. The barrels are listed as tight and the bores as excellent, which are the functional points a buyer should weigh.
