BRADDELL & SON 12G SIDE BY SIDE SHOTGUN.

J. Braddell and Son. Mayfair, Arthur Square, Belfast.                                                  All Hand Engraved to the Rib of the 30” (760mm) barrels. They are actually 1/16” short if you want 100% accuracy. Standard 2 ½” (65mm) English Game Chambers and fixed chokes at ¼ and a loose Full. Bores and walls are EXCELLENT. At 14” down the minimum wall is 43,000 with the lowest anywhere at 37. The strangest part is the left barrel is lower than the right. Usually it’s the right as this tends to get used more. Surprising really as the gun IS beginning to look just a little tired. Barrel blueing is faded. The original colour to the action has only the feintest trace left and the WELL FIGURED R/H stock could also benefit from a re-finish. The action has a three point lock up with a cross bolt on top of the usual lower two.

Given ALL the basics are here this may well be a prime candidate for a total refurbishment. With the Dublin / Irish / EIRE connection HOPEFULLY this will find its way back across the puddle. Anyone over there with interest by all means get in touch. HOWEVER, DO remember it is FAR from cheap to get a gun over. By the time import, export paperwork and transport is done there is a small fortune to factor in. The alternative is to travel to a dealer in the North and take it home from there!
