While we are on the subject of H. J. Hussey guns, does anyone have any knowledge about who engraved most of them because all of them I have seen have had beautifully executed scrollwork?

I used to have a Hussey Imperial. It was a very nice gun. Had super excellent triggers. All of them are dove tail lump barrel construction as opposed to chopperlump. I likely saw the ad for this particular gun with the photos on G.I. The really remarkable thing is it is cased with all the original accessories. Thats really awesome. They mentioned the gun may be a little loose, which means off face. If so, I would recommend Ken Eversull from LA to take a look at the gun. He has a laser welder to weld up the hook. Real slick.


Socialism is almost the worst.

A fellow named John at a doublegun site in England was kind enough to tell me that # 14391 was made between 1898 & 1904 and that the FS initials on the barrels ahead of flats stood for Frank Squires, a barrelmaker on Oxford St. in London who made barrels for Boss among others, so Im getting a little detail bit by bit.

You cannot post a picture taken with your iPhone directly from your IPhone. You will need to use an online server to host the picture.

So upload the picture from your phone, then from the online server select copy which should create an internet shortcut to paste, then paste that shortcut into the insert image button field.

Earlier today I passed this thread along to my friend and hunting partner Steve Dalzell as he might be interested in it. Steve hunts with a Hussey Imperial Ejector.

He was, and asked me to pass along his response:

Quote:
Very interesting! You could let them know that I have a true left handed H J Hussey, number 14267, from 1904. It is unusual in being a true left handed gun - left swinging top lever, cast on and left set triggers. It is totally original apart from a new Silver's pad. You might add I could help with the stock work.
I'd do it myself except that for some reason unknown my e-mail has been banned!


Steve is one of the better stockers around, as I think some of the other members here can attest. He's also a great all-around guy and good hunting partner.
