Serial Number - 3494 Another very rare and high quality hammerless side lock has come to light - but this time it is a 16 bore and is in the USA. It would have been proofed between 1875 – 1887 and has the address Perrins & Son 59 Broad St Worcester, which puts it between 1879 and 1887. It is only 5 numbers on from Steve Hopkins gun which has very similar engraving although his is a 12 bore. This gun is a No.2 of a pair - wouldn't it be great if No.1 were to turn up?
