serial #4210, 20 ga (2 1/2''), 27'' barrels choked improved cylinder and full with mostly bright very good bores showing scattered light pitting throughout the forward halves of the bores. The barrels of this attractive British double retain about 97% good quality re-blacking showing some sparsely scattered light handling marks and small areas toning to a deep gray under bright light. The undersides show Birmingham nitro-proofs for 2 1/2'' shells and the rib retains strong maker mark with 150 High Street Colchester address. The action retains about 99% nicely restored vibrant case-hardened colors retaining strong protective lacquer and embellished with nice quality English filigree scrollwork throughout, both sides also maker-marked in riband. The water table shows discreet Connecticut Shotgun import mark, the upper tang bears ''SAFE'' inlaid in gold and the top lever, triggerguard and bottom metal retain about 98% restored rust blue. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in very fine to near excellent condition as carefully cleaned and refinished showing some scattered remnants of light handling marks and mostly strong checkering. There is an un-engraved monogram plate along the toe line and the thin checkered horn buttplate shows a small repair at the toe. Length-of-pull is about 14 1/8'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/2'' and the stock is cast-off. The gun is equipped with double triggers, automatic safety and silver bead front sight and the barrels lock-up solid on-face via dual under-bites. Weight is 5 lbs. 9 oz. and the action seems to function well mechanically with robust in-time ejectors. This is a nice high quality ejectorgun in a desirable smallbore chambering.
