Watson Bros - Best Boxlock - 20Bore, c1910.
Perfect restored condition, and remains unfired since.
Watson Bros were known for their small bores, and this gun shows why.
A true London Best Boxlock Ejector with marvellous deeply etched engraving.
I recently received this little gem back from a complete restoration by master double gunsmith Claudio Opacak ( https://shootingsportsman.com/greener-restoration-1/ ).
Although the original condition of the gun was not bad by any standards, it is now perfect.
It’s an ejector gun, with a hidden third bite, and excellent original bores.
Flat top chequering in great original condition with a beautiful diamond grip English straight stock and new leather pad.
Absolutely authentic, and the finest in gentleman’s vintage 20bore shooting.
Chokes – IC/Full.
Chambers – Original 2 1/2” with 7/8oz nitro proofs
Barrel Length – 28”
Ejector
Length of Pull – 14 1/4”
Weight – 5lbs 4oz
Comes with orginal blue velvet lined leather hard case and nickel oiler.
Price $9500 + Ship, or can meet up in the East GTA.
Of interest Watson Bros in the UK can be written for the historical records/ledger entry on this gun.
2 1/2” 20 gauge hunting ammo also available.
