It was made to order for him at the age of 42 and is choked for the European woodcock that I believe may be part of the bird population on the Aros Estate and the rest of the island. It has been a pleasure to own and fits me perfectly. My first shots with it on game gave me a simultaneous flush double, or right and left as you say there. The original case and accessories are still with the gun and even the key. I read with interest the preservation of the park and the joy that it gives to many. Due to the unnecessarily strict firearms ownership laws now in the UK, the shotgun will probably remain here in the States so that it can be used as intended by Col Allan and the gunmaker.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110380852720136472noreply@blogger.com
