Provenance: We are kindly informed by the vendor that that gun was purchased for him second hand from a gunshop in Perth at a cost of 90 pounds. It spent its working life on the Tullybelton Estate (where the vendor lived with his parents) until the estate was sold and the vendor moved to Suffolk. The gun went into storage when the vendor moved to New Zealand and then subsequently Australia.
Other Notes: The gun comes with a copy of the invoice for the new barrels by Churchills dated June 1996 and also a letter from Cambridge Gun Repairs confirming that the gun has been in storage there since the barrels were replaced (and that it has remained unfired since the barrels were fitted).
