The gun we are looking at this month is a 12-bore by William & Son that hits my scales at 6lb 10oz.
It has Celtic-style engraving (which seems to have become fashionable in recent years).
First impressions are encouraging. This is a beautifully finished, classic London side-by-side, sidelock game gun.
The decoration is unusual but there is nothing radical about the mechanical specification (and nothing wrong with that, as everything conforms to classic, time-proven pattern).
The gun is of carriage trade quality in all departments.
