This fine gun from the late 1800’s was used at the E J Churchill Shoot at West Wycombe Estate by a young man who is very keen on hammer shotguns. Beautiful in every way with its Damascus barrels and sidelock design, made by Scottish gunmaker John Dickson and Son, its a fine example of a hammer gun. I believe it was a 16 bore and could shoot pretty straight too!

John Dickson & Son was established in 1820 in Edinburgh. The company gained its popularity through its round action shotgun, for which a patent was taken out in 1882. Its distinguished customers included Lord Byron, who bought his duelling pistols from them. To find out more about this Scottish gunmaker please click here to be directed to their website.
