I bought this gun at an auction and it will most likely be used as a banquet gun, a prize gun at a clays shoot, or a raffle gun for our RGS Chapter.

The description from the auction house was minimal, so it didn't attract a lot of bids:



It's a 2 1/2" extractor gun, J.D. Dougall & Sons West Nile St. Glasgow on the rib.

Very shootable modern dimensions: 14" LOP, 1 1/2" DOC, 2" DOH, a nudge of cast off; other than being a bit too short for me, I'd have no problem shooing it.

6 lbs., 11 oz, Balance point just in front of the hinge pin.

Barrels are very good, I suspect a refinish.

An oddity with numbers: Number on the tang: 4314; number on rib under barrel, and front of barrel flats: 22458. Not sure what's going on there.

I find the locks interesting - and I am wondering if that will help establish how old this gun is?



A different number from the Serial No. on the tang:



The same number is on the bottom rib above the barrel flats; picture below.
