Other Notes: The vendor kindly informs us that the gun was refurbished and rebarrelled to the current very high standard by David Dryhurst in 1987 and that it has seen little use since. The makers records have it as a border engraved gun, so the full scroll engraving is likely to have been executed at the time of refurbishment.
