A Crazy Relative's Gun?
I know that I'm related to the Duke of Gordon, generally credited with developing the Gordon setter, but I'm not sure about the eccentric Charles Gordon who ordered so many anachronistic guns from John Dickson and Sons.
Some time back I purchased this nice Jones Lever gun, a ten bore, that was supposed to have been one of Charles Gordon's many guns. Dicksons confirmed that the gun was ordered by Gordon. It has had its original barrels replaced by Dicksons with a very nice 30 inch set. I had hoped to take it to the duck marsh this past season, but things didn't work out. I hope there's a next year.
I love the wood and stock dimensions on this 1880s gun.
