Watson Bros 360EX double
      12/10/23 04:44 AM

UPS dropped off an eagerly awaited package today; a Watson Brothers double rifle in 360EX.

Seller's description:
Watson Bros SxS Double Rifle .360 Exp C&R Nice! W/H&H Case & Original Ammo

At auction is a Watson Brothers box lock double rifle in .360 Express caliber (.360 2 ¼”). Barrel length is 26”, and S/N is 135XX.

Original condition is very fine, most of the original blued finish remains to the barrels with no rust or pitting present. The receiver retains much of its original finish as well, showing obvious original case colors, with no rust or pitting present. The stock set shows no chips, cracks, or damage beyond some scattered light handling wear and few minor scratches, the worst of which is a scratch just above the triggers on the right side as shown. Original butt plate is present and free from damage. The bores are clean, strong, and shiny. Mechanical function is excellent, lockup is nice and tight, and the rifle remains fully fit to fire as was determined by our gunsmith. Rear sight is marked 150 yds, and there’s a 250 yard leaf as well.

Included in the sale is an original period Holland & Holland leather wrapped gun case which has been the storage case for this rifle for at least the past 60 years. Two leather slings are included as well. Case condition is old and worn, though solid.

Also includes several boxes of desirable original period .360 Express 2 ¼” ammunition. The following rare and hard to find ammo is available: 4 full boxes of clean Kynoch .360 190gr smokeless ammo (Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd London marked), one full box Kynoch .360 Nitro ammo (Nobel Industries Ltd London marked), and two RARE paper boxes of black powder .360 rounds by D. Fraser & Co. Edinburgh, Scotland. There’s also a full box of Kynoch (Nobel marked) empties, two additional loose empties, and 5 assorted loose live rounds.

This medium-game rifle by Watson Bros features gorgeous hand engraving, original finish and case colors, truly a work of art. A very nice, original, and highly collectible example of English craftsmanship at its very finest. Watson Bros is still in business today!
