Apparently pretty hard to find in this condition as most of them were used hard. I have an early A grade 16 gauge with the sterlingworth type forearm and it is well well used. This one hasn't been carried that much for sure. Came out of Middleburg Va where lots of well heeled folks live (and used to live). About 35 years ago I was a manager for Orkin Exterminating Co. and had the opportunity to go in lots of those old plantation type estates. I remember one estate that had a gun room where every gun in there cost more then probably any car I ever (or have since) owned. More sidelock london guns then one can imagine. Back then I didn't have much appreciation for them (I was in my 20's) and just looked at them as a bunch of old (although certainly expensive) guns. My attitude changed a lot over the years for sure.
