I love the look and feel of this gun 6lbs 5 oz. very thin in the grip, shoulders and swings nicely! A simple provincial gun marked F. Davie out of Elgin Morayshire. So lets see what you have!

A Allan, Glasgow.
It would appear the Scot's put a bit more emphasis on wood and fit/finish in the modest grades.

That Arthur Allan is sharp! What does it weigh? Do you notice any modifications in the frame from a standard Birmingham gun? Mine is very plain but smaller in the frame and stock, as in thinner.
