Condition Report
Beautifully engraved Belgian sidelock ejector, 28" replacement nitro monobloc barrels by Jean Breuil, matt rib, 2 3/4" chambers, chocked Modified (right barrel) and Full (left barrel). Treble grip action with hidden third bite and removable striker discs, manual safety, articulated front trigger, floral bouquet and acanthus scroll engraving. Receiver still has a bright finish and barrels are in excellent condition with a mirror like appearance. Finished to a very high standard and in quite nice condition, including very little signs of wear on the bluing and receiver parts. The gun swings and balances quite nice, right on the hinge pin. It would make for a fantastic pheasant or grouse gun.
A Sidelock ejector at the price of a boxlock. An absolute gem of a find! Hurry won't last!
