Description
A magnificent gun, with few equals, in a scarce configuration.
Gem Quality, As New Condition, Double Barrel 20 Gauge Shotgun Made by Pedro Arrizabalaga for John Rigby & Co. London. Arrizabalaga is universally recognized as one of the world's finest gunmakers, with a production limited to 150 guns per year with these small bore configurations being extremely scarce. This example, #14562, and identified as the "Heavy Scroll" model, features 27 7/8" chrome lined barrels, raised "filed" rib, 3" chambers, seven pin action, custom ordered without the H & H self opening mechanism. The absolutely exquisite scroll, that covers every metal surface including the barrels at the breech, is articulated in a quality reminiscent of the internal mechanism of a fine watch, truly remarkable. Receiver, trigger guard, forend tip with coin finish, gold Safe, blued lever, double triggers. English style stock with Prince of Wales type grip and semi beavertail forend. There is an oval gold escutcheon inlaid on the underside of the butt inscribed R. S. Marked P. Arrizabalaga in a riband on the side locks, Pedro/ Arrizabalaga/ Eibar on the underside of the receiver, and Made For J. Rigby & C. London on the top of the right barrel.Auction Info
