I picked up a Jeffrey BLNE a couple years ago with side clips,1 1/4 oz proofs, Greener cross-bolt, and 30" barrels. It has the thickest muzzles I've seen on a gun weighing around 7.5 lbs. Flat file-cut rib. Solid gun.

Nice two barrel set with the Watson. You can just see where someone at the Proof House accidently picked up the 1 1/4 oz. stamp and used that before realising the mistake and over stamping with 1 5/8 oz. Don't see many with that mark, the next common stamp would be for 1 1/2 oz.
eeb, sounds as if you have an old live pigeon gun. I have a hammer Jeffrey pigeon gun. Chances are that it will be well choked. Lagopus.....

I have a 7 3/4 lb. Wm Cashmore that came from Aus. which is 2 3/4 1 1/4 oz proofed with 30" m/f. It has a greener cross bolt but no side clips. It is not high stocked so I assume it was a waterfowl gun. I made a comb riser of blue foam and have a mole skin piece over it to use as a ZZ bird gun.

I have wondered if it was a pigeon gun because it is stocked fairly high, like 1 1/2" by 2 1/4"; however, the auto safety makes me think it's a waterfowler. It was made in 1937 and has the Made in England stamped on the watertable, which I assume was to designate it made for export. Great clays gun. The chokes should be opened, but I can't bring myself to do it. I looked at (and lusted over) a hammer Jeffrey on Digory Haddoke's website. Too rich for me, but what a gun.

I have a Greener Empire 12b, 30" barrels, 3" chambers, full and full, which I bought from Macdonalds in Oz.
Also a Jeffery 12b BLE shot and ball gun, 32" barrels, 3 1/4" chambers, sideclips. It has folding leaf sights for 50 and 100 yards for slugs.
Both are fine for waterfowl but I wish a previous owner had not opened up the chokes on the Jeffery to 1/4.
And I wish nontox were cheaper. I finally bought a modern CZ USA hammergun to use with steel.

Beautiful gun, Oberndorf. How long are the inseams on those legs?

Wow! R.M. shot two barrels into sitting geese and killed the first at 120 yds. and the second at 129.  Wonder if they both were the ones he was shooting at? SRH
