Dean, What a gorgeous Dickson. I may have the "older brother" to your gun. Mine is from 1890 according to Dickson's records, and was part of a pair. It also has 29 inch barrels and weighs in at 6 lbs. 3 oz. These round actions are lively in the hands and very well made. Congratulations on being the caretaker of one of the best double gun designs ever.
