Boswell is noted for pigeon guns. Although most Boswells are boxlocks, they have a certain aura of quality that surpasses the boxlock reputation as a second class shotgun. The "pigeon gun" mystique helps to keep Boswell above water in the English gun market. Boswells have the Scottish influence in the receiver and stock cheek area which most people find unattractive. I am presently building a custom pigeon gun at great expense with just these unattractive features. Oh well. To each his own. I would love to find a Boswell pigeon gun that meets my requirements for condition and price.
The Following User Says Thank You to Bill Murphy For Your Post:
Bill: Here are some pictures of the Boswell. I have not had it in hand. It lives about a thousand miles from me. It was re-proofed in 2003 and opened to 2 3/4 inch. Proof is 850 BAR (Approx. 12,325 psi), so it should be okay as a pheasant gun I know nothing about these guns. Is there enough info in the pics to consider a ball park value estimate? It is 120+ years young.
