Both are in very fine condition, as refreshed with new barrels and crisp engravings and legends on the locks. They're housed in an oak and leather trunk case, with #2 inlaid in gold at the breech. The estimate is $14,000-$18,000.

Good things come in pairs, and bidders are certain to be keen on the pair of J Purdey & Sons self-opening sidelock ejector SXS 12-gage shotguns being offered as one lot. Manufactured in 1898, the rifles feature fine Damascus-patterned barrels with case-colored Rose & Scroll engraved side locks. They're marked "1" on the blued top lever, with Treble grip action. The condition of these desirable antique weapons is very fine, with each exhibiting brilliant bright bores. The pair should command $5,500-$6,500.
