Were there any Woodward "The Automatic" SHOTGUNS produced ? Put simply – Yes …. and dare I say, the world would have been a poorer place if there were none of these superb wands to behold.!!! I personally know of 5 Woodward "The Automatic" smoothbores in Victoria, Australia ( all 12 bores curiously). Unfortunately and despite the best efforts by Nitrox to explain to me (Luddite extraordinaire !) how to attach a photo to this message, I am regretfully unable to include it here. But in the fine tradition of Woodward – it is delightfully finished with fine tight scroll work, cocking indicators, arcade fences etc etc. and was completed in 1896. Of the five mentioned above - the oldest Woodward "The Automatic" shotgun I have had the pleasure of knowing was built in 1881 and it can still be heard and seen today rolling over the odd piece of “Underground mutton” (rabbit). CptCrl….enjoy !
