Thats a beauty Pato , Nice pic's to , Is that a pair of White Buff horns in the high 90's 100 mark behind the Blanch ?

I had a White pair 30 odd years ago , around the 100in mark , gave them to a friend (as I thought I could get more ???) never to see a big Bull again , only a couple of big cows , sadly !

Hi Pato,

That is a very nice bit of kit, you should be proud to own such a firearm. I guess that it is a bit early but have you tried her out ?? If yes, how did she perform ??

Cheers for now,

Jeff Gray

Very tasty bit of kit Pato! The piece reminds me of mine FT Baker Perkes patent ejector shottie but the engraving on yours is best quality for the trade rather than what might be supplied for watchmakers. (and mine is ok but not "best finish")

Reminds me of what some work that Harry Kell created in the 20's and 30's.
Again very noice moite!

Beautiful rifle. I love the look of the back action guns. They seem so slim.

That is one lovely rifle, and I agree with Mickey about back action sidelock guns.

Pato,

Nice old back action with beautiful engraving. Taking her out to drop the big beasts looks like good times.

Oh, my!! You just don't see a Blanch BA, sidelock, fully foliate engraved, double rifle every day. And that is a shame.
