W. Palmer Jones Boxlock Double Ejectorgun
serial #16439, 12 ga (2 1/2''), 28'' barrels with bright excellent bores choked modified and full. The barrels retain about 95% of a nice quality re-blacking showing some mild thinning under bright light and a few light handling marks. The rib retains strong markings with 25 Whittall Street Birmingham address and the undersides show two sets of Birmingham nitro-proofs for 2 1/2'' shells, 1 1/8 oz and 3 tons. The action is mostly a silvery gunmetal patina with some wisps of case-hardened colors lurking about the protected areas while the bottom metal and triggerguard retain about 98% restored rust blue. The action is extensively embellished with fine English foliate scrollwork throughout, the upper tang with ''SAFE'' inlaid in silver. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in about very good plus condition as-refinished with a somewhat heavy varnish that has filled in the checkering and showing some scattered light dings. There is an un-engraved German silver monogram plate along the toe line and a 1 1/4'' solid red rubber pad with 1/4'' black line spacer has been installed providing a 14 3/8'' length-of-pull. Stock shows slight cast-off and drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/2''. Barrels lock-up solid on-face via dual under-bites and Greener crossbolt and the shotgun features double triggers, silver bead front sight and automatic safety. The action seems to function well mechanically with ejectors in time and weight is 6 1/2 lbs. A very respectable British ejectorgun from a good maker. (13B11621-104) {C&R} (800/1200)
