I believe it to be a Ugartechea Model 75 Sidelock. Those branded Parker Hale were imported to the US by Precision Sports.
In the US that would be a $1800 to $2500 gun. Great guns!

That's a big difference from UK price to US price. Anyone else feel the love like Bob ?
If you dont understand the differences in price, you havent been paying attention:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/dec/22/grouse-shooting-yorkshire-waterEngland is at a crossroads, where the larger cities have not quite converted to Sharia law, but, they might as well have. Traditions of the past are being not only abandoned, but, destroyed.
Brit non ejector 12 gauge boxlocks are a $100-300 proposition all day long in olde blighty.

Ted, it has nothing to do with Sharia law or any other ethnic issue. In fact shooting sports, especially deer stalking and fox control are a fast growing area with many new recruits every year.
However, as the vast majority of shotgun users come through the clay route to shooting, the preference for O/U's for all shooting sports, game or clay, predominate and the S/S has become a minority interest. At the February British Shooting Show there was no shortage of shotgun and rifle sellers and buyers but the S/S probably represented considerably less than 1% of the sales.
Yes there is a high profile fight against grouse shooting but this represent a tiny part of the British shooting scene, albeit a hugely valuable one to those who are involved local to the moors. It is driven by the ideologies of re-wilding, class war and animal rights, is deeply flawed but gaining traction with the urban uninformed.
Please don't muddy the waters with your views on our national ethnic diversity, I won't comment on your institutions if you'll keep out of ours.
