That looks like a nice one. Not a bad price either.

Is it just me, or does the trigger guard look different? It seems really rounded to me.

I did consider it, however I'm thinking the current situation in Europe more warrants me buying more 12g shotgun 10 round box magazines, lots of them 12g ammo and ammunition components.

Hopefully I'm just being a bit pessimistic, but hey, none of it will go to waste  )l_

I don't know about the trigger guard but all in all it looks like a real nice example.

I sent the link to a friend in England, he's buying some up originals because as in Sweden original antiques are sold and possessed licence free in Nanny state U.K.

Wow...It's sad that we all have to worry so much about our surroundings but i guess that's just life. Things in general seem to be turbulent everywhere these days. Let's hope for a better tomorrow and pass us the bottle will ya?  :big_drink_2:

Dave,

Just had another look at that picture........Yes it DOES look very ROUND doesn't it ?

Not too difficult to do with some brass rod and a brazing torch. Maybe a previous owner had hands like shovels ?
