Stunning gun. Wow!

Absolutely love Scottish guns! There is something magical about them, hard to describe accurately but svelte always comes to mind. Even the most basic Scottish boxlock looks and feels amazing in had. Here is a Basic 12 bore out of the highlands, purpose is for walk up grouse shooting on the moors. You have a fantastic gun!

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.

Garry,
Yours looks to be a very close match. After all they made less than 2000 round actions since 1880. Do you think William Wallace had a Dickson?

Hmmm...Did Dickson make a double round action crossbow?

Rick,
Thanks for the kind words. I DO like Scottish guns!

Second that on Scottish guns.

Garry,

Your Dickson only has a single screw on the action near the flats. Is this a non-ejector gun?

Thanks,
Ken

Ken, It's an ejector gun with typical ejectors in the frame.

The story of Wingate, the man, is as valuable as the gun itself. Just holding it should connect you with his spirit and the window of time in which he lived. THIS is why these old double guns are so important to those of us who cherish heritage.
