F742

A very nice (and rare) genuine 12 bore boxlock non-ejector ‘Live Pigeon’ shotgun made by Charles Boswell in 1913. 30” Nitro proofed barrels (re-proved at .740” in 1979), the breech end engraved with a pigeon. Broad raised, file cut top rib, tubes signed ‘Charles Boswell maker, 26 The Strand, London’ (min wall thicknesses 26 and 25 thou). 2¾” chambers, bored approx. ½ and full choke. Large frame treble-grip action with side-clips, automatic safety, beaded border and scroll engraving. Figured 14¼” semi pistol grip stock, which was sadly marred by a crack at the wrist but this has now been professionally repaired and looks good (I have shot a couple of rounds of Skeet with this gun since repair and there are no problems with the strength of the stock). Comes in a good Charles Boswell oak and leather motoring case with some accessories. Weight 7lb. 11oz.
