serial #734, 12 ga (2 3/4''), 26'' barrels choked improved cylinder and modified with bright excellent bores. This is an attractive shotgun retailed by B. Jenkinson of New York City and made in Birmingham by G&S Holloway. The barrels retain about 95% original blue showing some mild edge wear and areas of minor thinning taking on a slight plum tone under bright light. The action retains a similar amount of lovely vibrant case-hardened colors with the high edges taking on a pleasant silvery case-hardened patina. The bottom metal, triggerguard and top lever all retain about 90% original bright blue showing some light flaking and handling marks. The action is embellished with lovely tasteful filigree scrollwork throughout and shows ''B. JENKINSON'' neatly engraved along both sides and the barrel rib. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend with push button release remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and handling marks, the buttstock with a couple small solvent stains and otherwise strong oil finish. The checkering remains strong with nice mullered borders and there is an un-engraved monogram plate along the toe line. The stock shows slight cast-off and is equipped with a solid red rubber Old English pad with three black spacers providing a 14 1/8'' length-of-pull (12 3/4'' to the end of the wood). Drops are 1 5/8'' and 2 1/2'' and weight is 6 lbs. 8 1/2 oz. Shotgun features medium German silver bead front sight, double triggers and automatic safety, and barrels lock-up via dual under-bites solid on-face with top lever resting about center. The action seems to function well mechanically with robust in-time ejectors. A handsome British double from about the mid to late 1950s. (13C11621-101) {C&R} (1500/2500)
