W&C Scott & Son double barrel shotgun with unusual underlever barrel release by triggerguard. 30" barrel. Serial number 1523. Nicely engraved metal parts, showing medium patina overall with scattered pitting, and some damascus finish on barrels. Has a replaced screw in the bottom of the frame. Stock is very good, showing average wear, has a small circle of minor cracking in the butt associated with a knot in the grain, and a repaired crack to the left of the barrel tang. Forearm has a minor sliver at tip and is missing the horn insert at the tip. Barrel rib partly resoldered, still somewhat loose. Mechanically good, sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
