Delivered as a No. 2 gun of a pair of best Round-Actions in August 1928, and marked with Patent Use Number 1671, its the 1671st patent gun made in the Round-Action’s 143 year history. The gun is scroll engraved, which is still quite crisp, and has slight traces of hardening colour. The gun still wears its original 29in steel barrels, which are clean inside measure very well and have their original chokings.
