W Sumners & Son
 

Very sound little 20 triple bite with nitro proofs. Anyone have any experience with these? 5 pounds 11 oz 26” cyl/cyl and a quick pointer.

Sure is a pretty little thing!

That would be a sweet little grouse gun!

sweet little gun

all i could find about him is "William Sumner was a gunmaker in Liverpool, England, from about 1858 to 1890" -

looks like a London reproof

and I agree with Harold - it deserves to be taken out for quail or grouse/woodcock over a setter

According to Nigel Brown's British Gunmakers, William Sumners was at 219 Oliver St, Birkenhead, Liverpool, from 1858-60, 48 Oldhall St. c. 1874--78, and 48 & 50 Old Hall st. c. 1883-90.

This very finely done side-plated A&D boxlock was nitro proofed in Birmingham between 1954 and 1989. It does have Anson's intercepting safety sears as well.

I'd shoot it with RST light loads, just for the comfort factor.

nice little 20 ga very beautifull gun

Awesome.

Charlie Now that I think about there was a W Sumners & Sons 8 gauge for sale last year with 40" barrels I think or 38" .

if you search the web for the maker's name 8 gauges show up
