NEW INVENTORY - John Wilkes of London Boxlock, made in 1931
20 Gauge, A & D Ejector, side-by-side shotgun
We are pleased to offer this delightful lightweight boxlock ejector by John Wilkes of London, that was delivered in 1931. The action is scroll engraved and retains a trace of hardening colour and is fitted with a lightly figured stock with a well matched stock extension. The gun benefits from having just had a full service, strip and clean and stock has been gently cleaned and re-polished, the chequering cleaned out and the furniture re-blacked. The barrels are in excellent condition inside and out, and the lock-up to the action is firm and tight.
