The only sad thing atleast to my way of thinking , is the fact that before we got the 12 and 20 they used to be part of a trio . The gentleman that owned both of them also had a 16 W&C Scott from the same period and also having belonged to one of the Peter's descendants from the cartridge company . And sadly that one was sold to an outdoor writer in the Shenendoah Valley of Virginia before we were ever made aware of them being for sale !
And the owner/descendent was one of our semi close neighbors . He had his insurance man brokering them for him

Was the writer Roger Barlow? How were Roger's guns sold after his death? I have always referred to RB as a neighbor even though I can't quite throw a baseball from my house in MD to his. I foolishly traded my W&C Scott 16 away at an Allentown gun show more than 20 years ago. I had owned it since I was 15 years old. I shot my first box birds with it the year I bought it, never should have let it go.

I love those old WC Scott guns. I owned a WCS 12-ga hammer gun for a few years that had engraving that rivaled any gun I have ever seen in terms of depth, quality and coverage. In fact, the only Parker that I have seen that even came close to my Scott was a 20 ga A1S live bird gun made in 1917/18.
Thanks for posting those pictures. Beautiful old guns, for sure. |

I bought a WC Scott off Gunbroker, but had to send it back due to serious rust under the forend. Hated to send it back as it had great engraving, but the rust was serious. I lost out on another one on Gunbroker that I liked better . . . Going to get one eventually.

I tried to buy a 12-ga WC Scott Bogardus Club Gun (hammer gun) a few years ago that was in the process of being restored from a BAD rechecking job. According to the gentleman t whom the gun was entrusted it had been hanging over a family fireplace for 50+ years. In addition to the usual well executed scroll work there was a bust of a pointer on one side and the bust of a cocker on the other side. The engraving was so fine and detailed that it looked like the eyes of the dogs were looking right back at me and her eyes would follow my gaze. I ran my finger over it and I swear I could feel the dogs coats. Spectacular is the only way to describe it. In the end I believe the gun went back to the family - but hopefully not back over the fireplace.
