Wow - love these! Never seen a pair before... Punches tons of buttons for me

Surprised by the 23/4 chambers are they in proof

The pair seems to have original 2.5" chambers... Or are you referring to the single?

Are WR boxlocks really bringing that kind of money or is the asking price for that pair ambitious?

I doubt the "Heronshaw" is bringing that kind of money if, as posted above, it is simply a basic A&D boxlock design.

No, to the first part of your question.

Best,
Ted

hard to say what wr boxlocks are bringing, as good ones are so scrace here...

i am liquidating a collection of 12 bore english guns..should have some sales data by new years...

did recently sell a nice sleeved wr 12 bore for $2500...

and a nice sleeved john wilkes for the same money...

Note that the pair of Heronshaw guns has the WR C type bolting. This is what was normally used on the WR detachable lock model & better grade non detachable lock boxlock guns. The lower grade boxlocks used the standard A&D type bolting. I'm not saying that the C type bolting warrants the asking price but the Herronshaw guns are of a higher grade than the basic A & D gun. Personally, I'm not in love with that version of Celtic style engraving.
