or I should say one gun,
for the technical it is described as, 'a fine and exceptionally rare 16-bore 1882 patent three-barrelled sidelever round-action ejector, serial no. 4415 with 28in. replacement side-by-side-by-side nitro barrels (by the makers), ribs engraved ‘JOHN DICKSON & SON. PATENT. 32, HANOVER STREET, EDINBURGH.’, 2 1/2in. chambers, bored approx. 1/2 choke (centre barrel, first trigger), 3/4 choke (right barrel, second trigger) and imp. cyl. (left barrel, third trigger), J. Dickson and A.G. Murray patent action, patent no. 873 of 23rd February 1882, use number 343',
for the non technical it went for £43,000 last month, which for what appears to be a totally unique gun went for me a little under what I would have expected, but then I guess you do not get many game birds flying in triple formation!
