A.A. Brown 20g Super De Luxe Sidelock SxS Shotgun
A.A. Brown 20g Super De Luxe Sidelock SxS Shotgun

A.A. Brown 20g Super De Luxe Sidelock SxS Shotgun: The Supreme De Luxe self-opening sidelock ejector by A.A. Brown & Sons is only made bespoke and is “best quality” in every sense.  The Supreme De Luxe is based on the well proven H&H type bar-action sidelock with ABAS’ distinct shape; a semi-rounded action body with double beads hand-filed into the bar and complemented by slightly domed lock plates. In addition, the action has ribbed cocking indicators, disk-set strikers, charcoal blued pins and pegs, gilded lock work for corrosion resistance, two triggers, and an automatic safety with the word “SAFE” inlaid in gold.  Completed in 2002 this Supreme De Luxe was engraved by the very well-known and highly regarded (and now retired) Keith Thomas in the maker’s house pattern bouquet and scroll with the maker’s name inside unfurled banners. On the bottom of the action fine scroll surrounds a game scene of a woodcock flying among timber above the words “Supreme De Luxe” engraved below the game scene’s vignette.
The subtle roundness of the lock plates and action body continues through the drop points and wrist of the nicely figured walnut stock contributing to how good these ABAS guns feel in the hands. The stock has a 15 9/16” LOP over a checkered butt paired with a “Woodward” style pistol grip. Originally made for a left-hand shooter, the guard bow edge is rolled on its left side, but the triggers and stock are now filed and cast for a right-hand shooter. The stock oval carries the initials: V.V.   The splinter forend has an Anson push rod and is slightly elongated giving the gun a sleek profile and allowing for the off-hand arm to stretch out a bit. The forend and pistol grip have a flat-top checkering, a very specialized skill and something not often seen on today’s best quality guns, with Mullered borders. The chopper-lump barrels are just over 30” and proofed in Birmingham in 1999 with 2 3/4” chambers. Each barrel is precisely bored at .615” with .007” choke in the right and .014” choke in the left. The Supreme De Luxe also incorporates an H&H style self-opening mechanism mounted to the bottom of the barrels under the forend.   The gun was specially commissioned to be built as a 20g on a slightly larger 16g frame for volume shooting, yet the gun weighs a lively 6 lbs. 2.6 oz.  The gun is finished with a traditional color hardened action body, lock plates, and forend iron and blacked furniture and complete in a vintage oak & leather case refitted for this gun and relined in a green baize with a maker’s leather trade label. Price: $49,000*

Here are three reasons you need to go.

These days, the Southern is the best place to see fine sporting arms– side-by-sides, OUs, classic bolt actions, antique and new. British gunmakers like Atkin, Grant & Lang, Westley Richards, and John Dickson & Co will be there. So will dealers like Steve Barnett, Griffin & Howe, Connecticut Shotgun, and Robin Hollow.

Magnificently engraved, pristine Beretta S3EL 12 ga O/U sidelock from golden era (1956) with rare DT and ejectors in its factory case and cover

Magnificently engraved, pristine Beretta S3EL 12 ga O/U sidelock from golden era (1956) with rare DT and ejectors in its factory case and cover: What a fantastic, classic configuration, a time capsule from the late 1950s, almost as-new.  Profusely engraved best quality hand-made gun from Beretta’s best era of engraving and workmanship (by the then still working pre-war generation of gunmakers).  These guns were Beretta’s tops and then were mostly hand-crafted in a seperate facility out of special steels for the barrrels (very hard hi chromium content) and highest quality wood and engraving.  Beretta’s pre-1960s ‘S” sidelock design is far superior and more expensive to make than those on the later “S0″designated  guns and certainly superior than today’s “SOs”. Rennaissance Scroll engraved sidelocks, receiver and mounts (furniture) of Master Quality signed in small engraved letters “U.G.” just forward of trigger guard.  Rare double triggers, auto ejectors, cocking indicators, auto safety.

This gun just has not been used and is as tight as new. Weight is 7 lbs, 3 oz and balances 1/2 in in front of hinge pin, very dynamic handling. With original Beretta EL grade fitted luggage case and original canvas protective outer cover. I am also including at this pricea new Negrini leather case with a canvas protective cover ($650 value) which I store it in, to preserve the original for another 67 years!  Price: $12,950*

Beretta 470 Silver Hawk 12 Gauge – ULTRALIGHT, DELUXE WOOD
Beretta 470 Silver Hawk 12 Gauge – ULTRALIGHT, DELUXE WOOD

Beretta 470 Silver Hawk 12 Gauge – ULTRALIGHT, DELUXE WOOD: Beretta, Year 1998, 12 Gauge, 6lbs 8oz, Chokes IC/IM, LOP 14 1/2″, DAH 2 1/4″, DAC 1 3/8″ Serial Number: S02474A The Beretta Silver Hawk is a robustly manufactured gun that is known for top-quality steels and manufacturing methods from the world’s oldest firearms manufacturer, Beretta of Italy.  There are not many of these guns being offered for sale, and when you do see one it has seen hard use and shows it.  This gun is unique in that it has seen little use and it has a very crisp SINGLE TRIGGER FOR THOSE COLD DAYS HUNTING WITH HEAVY GLOVES.  This fine Beretta, snS02474A made in 1998, is a notably different gun than any other you might find for sale.  First, it has wood that has far nicer figure than any other you will see. It also does not have the “monobloc” barrel construction that shows a seam just forward of the chambers, which I find unappealing to the eye.  Then we look at the weight of 6 ½ lbs. and balanced dead on the hinge pin and you have incredible dynamics not found in many of the newer Beretta Silver Hawk 12-gauge guns.  This Silver Hawk also has 3” factory chambers and fixed chokes set at IC/IM (the perfect upland chokes), which is the way a traditionally oriented side x side shooter would prefer having their chokes arranged in a fine bird gun.  Another unique feature found in this Beretta is selective ejectors, meaning you can move a “switch” and turn off the auto-ejectors and have an extractor gun at will…nice!  Adorned with a bullet-proof single selective trigger, you can choose to shoot the left, fuller choked barrel first for incoming targets like ducks and doves, or the more open right barrel first for flushing birds like pheasants…another nice touch. The nicely engraved receiver retains all the chrome finish and has perfect screws and mechanics. The gun comes with its original Beretta hard case and all accessories, a $300 value. You won’t find a nicer-looking Silver Hawk and the price is right for this ultra-light, fully optioned side by side. Price: $4,250*

Accompanying this gun is a PGCA research letter dated 2/15/2013 identifying as found today and ordered by Union Hardware & Metal Co. and shipped to them 7/15/1938. Also accompanying this gun is the original cancelled check Mr. Phillips used when he purchased the gun from legendary sporting arms dealer William L. Moore on 6/17/1975 in the amount of $5500 as well as the original clipped advertisement for the gun in the Gun List. Additional provenance includes a July of 1975 appraisal from Pachmayr Gun Works valuing the gun at $6,500. Mr. Phillips put together a one page research write up on the gun noting that Carl H. Beal was born in 1889 in Morton, Kansas. He moved to Southern California and worked in the oil industry and authored numerous books and articles on the exploration of gas. Mr. Beal was well known for his passion for boxed bird events and collumbardie in Southern California throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Mr. Beal died in 1946 and is buried in Glendale, CA.

Lot 51: RARE AND ICONIC L.C. SMITH A-3 GRADE 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN ILLUSTRATED PROFUSELY IN LT. COL WM BROPHY’S “L.C. SMITH SHOTGUNS” BOOK
Lot 51: RARE AND ICONIC L.C. SMITH A-3 GRADE 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN ILLUSTRATED PROFUSELY IN LT. COL WM BROPHY’S “L.C. SMITH SHOTGUNS” BOOK: SN. 205157. The A3 Grade was introduced to the line in 1895 as “The finest gun in the world for the money”. It was the highest grade L.C. Smith until the grade designations were changed in 1913. Made in 1906 with 30” Whitworth Fluid steel bbls, 2-3/4” chambers, matted concave rib and bbl extension with red mid and ivory front bead. Muzzles are nicely crowned and have bands of engraving as well as 1” scroll wedges. Breech ends of bbls have 2-1/2” wedges of scroll on tops and gold inlaid lightning bolts running through each and are hand engraved “Sir Joseph Whitworth Fluid Compressed Steel” / “Made to Order By the Hunter Arms Co. Fulton, NY”. Later factory replacement type-2 beavertail forend is finely checkered with fleur-de-lis ribbon at center and fully engraved banjo type roll release and sculptured iron. Inside of forend iron is hand engraved with scrollwork, SN and 1901 Lewis Ejector patent info. Bbl flats are nicely engine turned with hand engraved SN, bottom of tubes w/original Whitworth trademark stamps and forend lug stamped “A 3”. Masterfully engraved case hardened sidelock action is most certainly the work of Albert E. Kraus, employed from 1890-1945.

Lot 51: RARE AND ICONIC L.C. SMITH A-3 GRADE 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN ILLUSTRATED PROFUSELY IN LT. COL WM BROPHY’S “L.C. SMITH SHOTGUNS” BOOK

Lockplates are extensively engraved in intricate foliate scrollwork and hidden game scenes with a relief engraved Setter in an oval panel on left plate, relief Pointer in panel on right, and “L.C.Smith ” in a crescent forward of the lock pin on each side. Receiver body has similar foliate scroll engraving interspersed w/ bouquet flourishes and bas-relief vine and scrollwork at the fences. The classic Setter with fallen quail on trigger plate, synonymous with the L.C.Smith brand, is beautifully executed. Blued trigger guard is rose and scroll engraved with hand-cut SN at tang. Auto ejectors, “Hunter One -Trigger”, non-auto safety. Gold inlaid “S” in front of flat safety slide.

Lot 51: RARE AND ICONIC L.C. SMITH A-3 GRADE 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN ILLUSTRATED PROFUSELY IN LT. COL WM BROPHY’S “L.C. SMITH SHOTGUNS” BOOK

Beautiful straight-hand buttstock of richly figured dark-streaked European walnut is finely checkered with fleur-de-lis and ribbon patterns terminating with an aging “No-Shoc” pad. Buttstock and forend are most certainly a period of use factory replacements (post-1920) and have been on the gun for much of its lifetime.

Mechanics are crisp, trigger works well and ejectors are in time. This is an exceedingly rare gun and opportunity to acquire one of the most recognised and published A-3 Grades extant!

Lot 51: RARE AND ICONIC L.C. SMITH A-3 GRADE 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN ILLUSTRATED PROFUSELY IN LT. COL WM BROPHY’S “L.C. SMITH SHOTGUNS” BOOK

This exact gun is illustrated in ‘L.C.Smith Shotguns, LTC Wm S. Brophy, 1983 on the cover and pp 21, 47-49, 164-169, 187-188. Accompanied by a L.C.Smith Collectors Association research letter dated January 28, 2022, identifying this gun as being finished January 22, 1906 as one of only 17 twelve gauge guns total. No stock configuration nor shipping info is recorded but there is a notation “McR” at the margin of the ledger for this entry and likely indicates the owner at one time. Also accompanied by archival A & F records, kindly supplied by Griffin & Howe Research, indicating the gun, in its current configuration, was consigned to them by E.A.Thorne in 1960 and sold to H. Gordon Moore in 1961. Harry Gordon Moore, Jr. resided much of his adult life in Lynchburg VA. Mr. Moore was also the author of “Trigger Pullers: An Attempt to Convey the Art of Wingshooting,1976” a compendium of Moore’s articles on gamebird shooting, first published in Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, and The Shooter’s Bible. Note: Moore and Brophy were certainly literary colleagues in the Sporting Fraternity and a friendly loan of the A3 for Brophy’s book is probable. Charlie Hunter spent his lifetime in and around the Staunton – Lynchburg area and was undoubtedly well-acquainted with fellow sportsman Moore. Hunter likely acquired this gun from Moore directly or from his estate after his passing in 1992.

Excellent all original cased Webley & Scott Model 728 Boxlock 28 bore:

Excellent all original cased Webley & Scott Model 728 Boxlock 28 bore: An excellent little Webley & Scott Model 728, a 28 bore double box lock ejector with 25″ barrels choked 3/4 (improved modified) in the left tube and 1/4 (improved cylinder) in the right tube. There is extensive floral scroll engraving covering the action, bottom plate, trigger guard, toplever, and forearm hardware and “WEBLEY & SCOTT” on each side of the action. There is even a flourish of floral scroll engraving on the breach end of the rib. The right tube is engraved atop the breech end “WEBLEY & SCOTT LTD, BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND.” and the left tube is similarly engraved “SERVICE ARMAMENT CO, RIDGEFIELD, N.J., U.S.A.” Mounted in a very nicely figured walnut stock with multi-point checkered forearm and English straight hand butt stock with teardrop flats, a vacant gold (I think) oval escutcheon at the toe and checkered butt. There are a few very small spots of finish loss and handling marks to the forearm. This dandy is ready to go in it’s original canvas covered takedown hard case complete with original trade label and all the original accessories including a pair of snap caps, an oil bottle, a two piece cleaning rod stored under the barrels, a wire brush, a patch swab, a mop, and a box of cleaning patches. Remarkable, also included is the original hang tag. This particular 728 appears to me to be a little better than usual with highly figured wood and a gold oval escutcheon near the toe. The butt is original too and hardly ever grounded as can be seen in the photos; so often these have been modified with a pad. The Model 728 is a fantastic little English hand made side-by-side gun, made before the days of mass produced CNC machined guns. This gun is slightly used – it bagged several quail and a pheasant in its one and only outing last season – but is in excellent although not quite perfect condition. The pictures tell the story. I think these guns are a great value and a good investment. I’ve seen them appreciate considerably on these pages even in just the last year. They aren’t bespoke guns but they do exhibit fine English craftsmanship. This 728 is a gun you can be proud of in any company but at a fraction of the cost of a bespoke gun. Price: $7,500*
