Lebeau-Courally Imperial Game Gun 20 gauge – 2 BRLS, ASSISTED OPENER, CASED
$17,750.00
| General Specs: Lebeau-Courally, 1929, 20 Gauge, 5lbs. 14oz., Chokes XF/XF; M/F, LOP 14 5/8″, DAH 2 1/16″, DAC 1 1/4″ Serial Number: 42276 Made in 1929, for S. Corte in Italy, as the first gun in a pair; today this beauty stands alone, with an added barrel (made in Italy). The story of how and when a pair like this is split is curious to me. Was it damaged or sold along the way? Wherever it is, if it is still in the condition of this gun, it is a shame they were separated; but on the other hand, it makes owning this exquisite shotgun much easier, you still get two barrels without the cost of a second gun, so maybe it all works out! When you first approach this gun, your eye is immediately drawn to the coin finish and exquisite floral engraving. The closer you look, the better it gets. The details of the shape of the receiver, skeletonized top lever, deep relief engraving on the barrel fences and bottom of the frame add texture and interest. The engraver signed near the trigger guard, M. Hannay. The tear drops behind the locks, imperial pigeon in gold in the fore end, and double-bordered point checkering decorate the stunning walnut that really needed no help. The straight stock features a gorgeous piece of wood that features wavy, deep grain with areas of tight burl and fiddleback, finished in a simple checkered butt. The wood to metal fit is pristine. As much as this gun deserves to be the centerpiece in a collector’s gunroom, the combination of barrels and chokes, will tempt you to take this lovely gun out to the range or out in the field for some upland game hunting. Please review the detailed specifications and enjoy the stunning photos included below.
