just perfect, find it remarkable that this cape gun was completed 10 days after GB enter the war we know today as the great war. nobody knows than what would happen but everybody thought it will be over at christmas.I think the british gunmaker dont get so many order anymore after august 1914 at least for such a exotic gun a cape gun was there.
a sxs combination is very common for the germanic hunter but if he had the extra money than take a drilling whenever possible. so the relative rarity of this type of guns is because of cheap drillings available everywhere after 1900. not because the sxs combination gun was bad but because the drilling was better and became affordable very quickly.
that someone buy a cape gun for hunting in britain seems me very snobbish. imho, Mister J.C. Dragton was on the way to go into the colonys, not as a hunter but as some official and need some kind of allround gun.this is a working gun without useless engravings, the rifle caliber is strong but not painful to shoot and can be used to deal with tiger and lion. at all the gun is in a very good shape showing the owner dont take it around day for day.
