Double shotgun
#89054 - 15/11/07 09:58 PM

Hello all, I've been looking for a S/S percussion black powder British shotgun for a while but the last Purdey that came up at auction (circa 1822) went for over 10k US$ and I don't want to pay that sort off money. The gun is going to be shot regularly. I have been offered a Joseph Harkin 14 bore from circa 1860 in good condition in its original case with all the fittings for US$3k. Any thoughts ? Things to look for ? thanks for the help, Mike Bailey

Hi guys, I did buy it, Decent condition for a shooter. Lovely damascus barrels. It has now gone off to an expert to be cleaned, checked (barrel thickness etc) then off to another chap I know for the case to be sympathetically restored (it came in a lovely oak case but needs some refurb/cleaning) When I get it back I will post some pics IF I can fathom how one does it, best rgds, Mike
