W. C. Scott & Son 10g. Sidelever Hammer double ~ A gunsmith special or just pretty as is for display over the hunting lodge fireplace?
Hammerguns
10 gauge
5503
16571
Gunsmith special or a great English double for over the rock fireplace in the lodge.

This gun needs to be rejoined (tightening of the barrels to the action) and a repairable bulge removed from the right barrel 15" from the breech. The left firing pin needs to be replaced as it appears short. There is good wall thickness but there is pitting in the bores. All and all nothing that cannot be done but will take time and money unless one does the work him or herself.

*This was originally a very fine gun and would be worth restoring in my opinion. My estimate for this work would roughly be 1K but this would not include a re-browning of the barrels.

*The positives are that the side lever action retains 50% original case color on the locks and all the engraving is sharp and of high quality.

Purdey top lever Island lock ~ No cast so ok for the right handed or left handed shooter!
Hammerguns
12 gauge

8273
This find Purdey dates from 1870 and was sleeved in modern times which has allowed it to become a very shootable and functional piece of history at an affordable price.

*If you are unfamiliar with the term "Island Lock" take a look at the right hand or left-hand lock on this shotgun and you will note that the stock wood goes all the way around the lock, thus making the lock an "island" of steel in wood. Purdey is well known with this feature, but I have seen other English makers do this also, possibly copying Purdey.

This is a well-balanced and simply engraved Holland & Holland with good dimensions. It was made in 1889. The chokes are a bit tighter than I would want but we are all different and it is easy to have them professionally opened. A pad could be added if you wanted a longer length of pull.

J. D. Dougall .577 Lock-Fast patent double rifle with makers case, tools and a reference to the Prince of Wales bed chamber...........
Hammerguns
Caliber
5333
3465
A very historic, but also very shootable Dougal Lockfast. The case is inscribed for 'Lord Suffield'.

Charles Harbord, 5th Baron Suffield was appointed Lord of the Bedchamber to Edward, Prince of Wales (to become King Edward VII), to whom he was a close friend. Lord of the bedchamber??? Is that for real??? He later was chief of staff to the Prince of Wales during the Prince's expedition to India in 1875–1876. The 3-feather insignia of the Prince of Wales is engraved between the hammers of the rifle. The inscription on the rib helps us to place the year of manufacture to 1873 or 1874, so the rifle was no doubt ordered for this trip. The Oval is engraved with the family crest and motto.

*Lord of the Bedchamber is an ancient appointment to the Monarch, basically in modern speak, he would be a confidante of the Monarch , A trusted friend, and his role originally was to help dress the Monarch, guarding access to his bedchamber ,generally waiting on him. The main role was to be a friend. Lord Suffield was Master of the Robes at the coronation of Edward V11 in 1902. He married firstly Cecilia Annetta Baring (of the banking family) in 1854. in 1911 following her death he married again. He owned 12000 acres in Norfolk (Gunton Park). Lord Suffield 5th Baron died in 1914 The family crest was a shield with ermine crown on top and the family motto was Aequanimiter ..obviously Latin …for "Even Minded" The bores are extremely good (excellent) with very strong rifling. Some pitting around the breach and extractor. The wide rear V-notch sight is inlaid with a platinum pointer. Along with the expected stocking safeties there is an unusual lever safety which locks the trigger. We haven't seen this before.

The gun has had some stock work done over the years. There is a rather obvious but vintage and effective stock repair to a very old split in front of the sling swivel. The leather cheek piece could very well be original. The vintage horn and Silvers recoil pad may one day require some more attention.

The case itself retains its original case label, charge label, and contains an excellent array of tools and accessories including the proper bullet mold. These also include a chamber brush and oil bottle by Hawksley, a priming tool by W. Bartram, and powder measure among others.

A fine piece of British history that would make an excellent addition to any collection.

*The Lord of the bedchamber is a very old title first used in 1718. This involved assisting the monarch in dressing, waiting on him while he ate, and guarding access to his bed chamber. Holders of this position were considered to be extremely close and trusted confidants. In the later 1800s this position evolved to mean more as the position evolved to become quite powerful.

This is a classic BPE double rifle from Scotland. The rifling is quite strong but near the chambers there is pitting but cleans up to very nice toward the muzzle. I believe this rifle will shoot extremely well.

The forend is missing its horn and the sights are missing the two folding behind the main sight. The gun is slighty off face so does need a rejoin soon.
