This is a wonderful example. With beautiful perfectly struck 30" steel barrels, perfectly executed scroll engraving, and a stunning piece of English walnut this true Scottish round action meets the hard to find balance between art and function.

Yes, she is in proof, tight on face, field ready!

Weighing less than some English 2" guns this gun balances extremely well with a very lively feeling between the hands. The case color is near 90%, the wood finish 90%, the barrel black 80%.

This gun has its original case and hang tag which interestingly enough mentions that the gun was tested with American ammunition. Sold to an American? The original case shows considerable wear but the gun also comes with a Huey style oak & leather case with French fitted tools making an extremely attractive package and a seriously sound investment.

The condition is high on this fine shotgun. Over 90% original blue, case hardening and wood finish. It has obviously not seen a lot of use. Even being so light and with such a long length of pull this little part of Scotland balances beautifully.

*Note the great drop dimensions , comb and heel and cast. Perfect for most of us.

* I do have a pair case that would look good with these guns but would be an extra $500.00

Built in 1910 this makes it a true Edwardian English double!

I was taught that while William Evans worked for Purdey's before opening his own business he actually in his own shop never built a gun but had them built to high standards in the Birmingham and London trade.

The stock dimensions are perfect for many and the LOP could easily be lengthened with a recoil pad.

It is tight on face and field ready!

We can have the full chokes opened to any thing you want for only $75 per barrel.

The extra full chokes would make this great for turkey hunting or allows one for only $70.00 per barrel open the chokes to any desired amount.

The tight chokes allow one to choose what ever choking they prefer as we can have them opened to your needs for only $70.00 per barrel.

The full choke in the left with cylinder in the right is a common English choking and was effective in driven shooting. If one opens the left barrel to a light modified and leave the right barrel as is this gun would be a fabulous upland bird shotgun. We can arrange for this and the cost is only $70.

The full and full chokes would allow our gunsmith to make this gun to any choke selection for just $75.00 a tube.

Note the great stock dimensions!

Today in the vintage gun world I find they are still a great gun for the money. Yes, they can be heavy and have a bit more drop than we might like today, but they are a classic work horse with an excellent history.

This is good solid example. The blue is a bit thinning and there is maybe 20% case hardening left. It is tight on face and field ready.

The stock extension we will match almost perfect to the butt so it will almost be invisible. Ask for updated pictures as it should be done soon!

This gun features extensive remaining case hardening, 90% or better. The blacking on the barrels is also 85-90% or better.

This will make some one an excellent upland double.

This will make someone in the very near future a very happy upland bird camper!

There is some light pitting in the bores which could be removed but if it were me I would take this light lady afield just as she is and enjoy her doing what she does best.

Nicely restocked with good dimensions, great wall thickness, and solid chokes, this true trigger plate round action has a lot to offer. There is very light pitting in the bores which could easily be removed (or left and shoot it as is as I would do). Featuring the classic "eye glass" trigger guard and nice long 29" chopper lump barrels. I love how these guns open by pulling back on the lever behind the trigger guard which is very ergonomic.

If you know me, you will know I love these guns. Give me a call and I would be glad to let you know why.

J. Blanch serial numbers were destroyed in WWII but references of dated guns give us an idea of age. It is believed that the company was at serial number 6000 in 1900 so this gun was probably made just shy of WWI.
