12 bore Pin Fire

Brian bought the gun from Weller and Duffy 48 years ago. He says....In all the years I have had the gun it has never been fired and is on display with my other items.
In my humble opinion the barrels appear to be in great condition with no pitting or rust inside them.
I have never shot any of my items as I am basically a collector and enjoy the workmanship and time spent in making them and investigating the history and their development.
I also have two Kynock Birmingham No.12 empty pin fire cartridges as shown in the photos.
I bought my Perrins all those years ago from an auction held by a company called Weller and Duffy but got into a bidding frenzy and paid far to much.I think it was in the region of £250 including the then 10% commission but I was so chuffed at getting it due to the condition.
Thanks again
Brian
