A very honest and eminently usable pair of Scottish round-body game guns by the celebrated Edinburgh maker J. Dickson & Son. Built in 1898, these non-ejector sidelocks have been sympathetically maintained and, while not a pristine “out-of-the-factory” pair, they represent excellent value and remain perfectly serviceable for driven or walked-up shooting.
The 30-inch barrels have been sleeved to a high standard and recently re-blacked in our workshops, with the actions properly jointed to ensure longevity and sound function. Choked skeet and improved cylinder, they are ideal for traditional game shooting or clays. The stock dimensions suit most modern shooters, and the cast is set for a right-handed shot.
These are not “cabinet queens” but honest, working Dicksons, priced accordingly for those who appreciate fine Scottish gunmaking without paying a premium for mint condition. A practical entry into the world of best British guns from one of Scotland’s most illustrious makers.
