Well, its not my gun. It does seem a real shame to me not to fix the old girl up and take her to the dance again. The basic gun looks to me to be in fairly good shape: action, barrels. The wood, "as through a glass darkly" gives some promise of being nice as well. As do the barrels. Although damascus and pitted, they are plenty thick and I couldn't find any major dents or bulges.
Just the gunk and the broken wrist and I am sure 80 years of built up crud inside the action/locks. Pins are all there, screws are not buggered.
You know that Double Gun Journal article said around 75,000 Aubrey guns were made, but no more than 200 had been "located". This one might look, if it were cleaned up, like that D model pictured in the article. At least the engraving does. Forend is different.
Ah well, who knows?
