Lean Dickson & Son
 
Although I love my many Parkers, this gun is hard to leave home on long walks. 12 gauge, 29 inch, 6 pounds 7 oz.

After looking at the pics I scrolled down to post a one word response, but Brian beat me to it.

Now that's exactly how a 12ga. bird gun should look and weigh. Very nice.

Great looking condition, but the wood is superb! Did you get any information on the gun from Dickson's?

Ken, I do have that information in an email somewhere. I will see if I can find it and post any interesting facts. I don't recall the actual information other than it is circa 1900 and I believe the initials on the trunk case match the owner.

As someone once opined, "life's too short to hunt with an ugly gun."

So true John..

I'll go with glorious.
It is a veritable celebration of the gunmaker's art, yet sublime in its restrained elegance!
Good Lord, that is a magnificent thing! That is as nice an example of a Dickson round action as I have ever seen.
Enjoy it!
