More on the pheasant hammer gun

[Austin W Hogan]

These birds look quite pheasant like; the left bird has a ring about its neck.

This is the left lock on a 9 pound, 10 gauge, check hook lifter, s/n 24590. It appears to be quite extensively engraved for a grade 2.
It would be interesting to see some additional grade 2 guns in this serial range.

Best, Austin

The 27257 gun is a 9lb, 5oz grade 2 example, as stamped on the water table. I'll do my best to shoot some better pictures of the engraving. There is lots of it.
