This is an Alex Martin that a client in the US asked us to put through the works. It is an Anson & Deeley action with some typically unnecessary Scottish complications to the cocking system and Baker-type ejectors.

Nice quality, pretty Damascus barrels and a little different. All functioning perfectly now. Looks quite good too.

As a card-carrying Scot, I remind ye that Boss guns are a product of our "unnecessary complications."

And as a card-carrying Slav (Polish with a dash of Russian) I remind ye that Alexander Henry rifles are a product of "unnecessary complications".

Also, that restored Alex Martin is one very pretty gun, except for the checkered side panels; are they original to the gun?

Another question while I'm at it; Is that damascus pattern 2 iron or 3 iron? I ask because my Westley Richards 12 bore has the same pattern, albeit tighter and more brown and gold, and I've been told it was 2 and 3 by 2 different people.

Just lovely, everytime I look at a good pair of damascus tubes I smile. Carrying such a gun in the field lends a bit more grace to the action.
