Mr. Trevallion has an example of this model in sxs and o/u:

I'd trade him my left nutt for it ?

What spectacular guns that firm built!!
To engrave not only their name on them but many others as well!!!

Thanks Mr Hands for posting 'A couple of Old Birmingham
Workhorses"..(As opposed to a Pair of "London Thoroughbreds"). I have given Mr Victor Ventors Senior Editor at SSMag. all the "GEN" on these 2 W.C.Scott 12Bores. He is writing the artical on their Very Intersting History. I have Original Invoices and Correspondence from Scott's To and from the Original Owner. It will be used in the artical.The O.U is the Only One Known to exist. It has a brief mention in Crawford & Whatley's Book on W&C Scotts. The DB is a perfect example of English Gunmaking from the 1920s.We belive they were engraved by the same 'Hand'. CC/DT.

The best of the best.

This is NOT the gun pictured above, but since we are discussing Imperial Premiers.....

This gun was owned by a member here before he let it get away. My understanding is that it was one of a trio. The location of another in this group is know, but the third may have disapeared in the communist take over of the country they were delivered to.

What graceful birds and engraving!!!

I saw this Scott on Gunbroker the seller mentions "Imperial Quality" could it be an early Imperial Gun is it a Premier Gun.

Is it a Premier Gun? I think so, but how does he expect to even get an opening bid with those awful pictures? Not that anyone should open the bidding at his start price.

'Imperial Quality'? Nice use of terminology that Scott didn't use for a couple more decades.

Hello Barry,

Could one deduct from the checkering on the sxs that it has been re-stocked?

Very nice guns but don't like that style of checkering on the grip. Not English
in my view.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
