2020 September Premier, Volume I

Magnificent & Rare John Dickson & Sons 8 Bore "Duck Gun" Made for the Famed Collector Charles Gordon
CONDITION: In incredible original condition. The barrels retain nearly all of the original
browned finish, the breeches nearly all of the original casehardened finish. The standing
breech and back action locks again with nearly all of the original casehardened finish,
perhaps the slightest loss to finish from handling around the back of the locks. The bluing
on the trigger guard has flaked leaving around 60% remaining. The butt plate has fared
better and retains around 95% original blued finish with some rubbing around the edges.
Stock has nice figure, well defined checkering, and only minor handling blemishes. The
case and accessories are in similar magnificent condition. Mechanically excellent.
Provenance: The Malcolm King Collection.
Estimate: 35000 - 60000
