Double Barrel Shotguns

Angelo Zoli Italian 20 ga.

This a fine lightweight, utilitarian 20 gauge over/ under by a fine Italian maker in Angelo Zoli.  This box lock action has the Greener style bolt lock and sports fine engraving.  The chambers will accommodate 3 inch magnum shells in this fine field grade gun.  The 26" barrels are choked modified top and full on bottom.  Single gold trigger and top mounted selector are standard.  The gun weighs just 6 1/4 pounds and is in like new condition but I'm told by the prior owner that he had fired several rounds thru it.  This is a fast shouldering piece and I can just picture the falling dove or quail beyond the ribbed bead.  A fine gun for field work and priced at only $895.00. ...

Union Armera SL 12 gauge

This exquisitely engraved and finely stocked side by side side lock, double barrel shotgun is from one of the finest makers in Eibar, Spain an area that has some of the finest gun makers in the world. This classic gun has seen some use but remains in top condition with mirror bores, tight lock-up and only several small stock dings and handling scratches.  I don't believe the side plates have ever been removed and the gun has probably seen little actual firing.  It is a show piece for any outing.  Even in 12 gauge and with 28" barrels the gun weighs in at only 6 3/4 pounds.  Standard European tastes with full and modified chokes, double triggers and ejectors compliment the fancy straight walnut stock with fine line checkering.  Nearly all exposed metal has deep scroll engraving and the barrels sport the classic deep rust blue.  It handles with fine balance and a standard 14 1/2" pull.  A fine gun priced at $4850.00. ...

Just put a nice CHE Parker on our Consignment Page.

Parker Brothers, DHE    12 gauge

Parker Brothers, thought by many to be the finest of the American side by side double shotguns, shown here in DHE Grade.  Well, before the prior owner decided that it needed a few custom touches to fit his personal taste and body form.  He was 84 years young when I bought this gun from him, a rugged man who liked his skeet shooting, and very frugal.  When learning that the gun club laid claim to his spent shells he promptly had the ejectors removed.  At the same time he figured the case coloring was pretty worn so naturally had the frame blued.  Prior to that, somewhere along the way a fine leather pad and a 14" length of pull suited him most best. But you know, with the 1 1/2 frame and even 30" barrels this piece comes up wonderfully on me!  I never had the opportunity to take it out and test it but it looks and feels terrific for a great field gun.  And not to worry about rain or twigs or briars and brambles, it has already been nicely broken in.  I did take it to a gun show in Springfield and promptly found that some idiot had banged another hammer gun into the left barrel and made a small ding (see photo).  So much for the "Do Not Touch" signs! It appears to be choked full and full, maybe I'm reading my old gauges wrong.  The fore-end latch shows all the original case colors, the barrels are full blue and the bores are excellent, it weighs in at 7 1/4 pounds. Ejector parts are gone, I don't have them and you really don't need them for this great hunter.  The stock shows some dings and some slivers where the pad was installed but overall the gun looks fine and is very tight.  Look over the thumbnails above.  The serial number 225226 dates it about 1928.  We have it priced at a reasonable (and ding reduced) special of only $2995.00. ...

James Purdey & Sons Cased Double Rifle .45-70 cal.

We have just bought this super and wonderful James Purdey & Sons Double Side by Side Rifle in .45-70 caliber manufactured and finished by Purdey in 1930.  It is in as new condition, in its' proper leather case and with Purdey accessories.  The barrels are 25 1/2" with ejectors and splinter fore-end.  The stock has a 14 1/2" pull with the proper pad, cheek- piece and full pistol grip.  The side locks of case coloring were engraved by Purdey in scrolls and roses pattern and inlaid later with raised gold animal scenes by Master Engraver Ken C. Hunt. A whitetail deer is on the left and a grizzly bear on the right lock.  The rifle was originally chambered for .400 Purdey 3" Express and sent to the famous R. B. Rodda Company in Calcutta, India in 1930. This Company sold to and handled many fine guns for the Maharajahs of the time as well as the well healed English Colonials.  When and where the conversion to the more American .45-70 caliber is unknown.  A pair of .45-70 gold plated snap-caps are included as well as a cleaning kit with horn handle rod by Parker Hale, Ltd. Several Purdey horn handled screw drivers are also with the accessories, see thumbnail. There are several small dings in the wood and can be seen in the thumbnail photos. These use or handling marks can be professionally removed. Purdy guns are recognized by many in the gun fraternity to be the worlds' finest firearms.  Recently several of these high quality guns were sold at auction for over $100,000.
