Hello to everyone. I am new to this site and trying to get knowledge about 12 bore double-barrelled gun which my grandfather bought near about 1945. It is hammerd gun made by "Joseph bourne and sons, England ". Still it is very well in condition and work perfectly. It has engravedbarrel centreline and butt is patched with brass logo near strip holder.

I have searched many times on google about it but never get complete information about this .
Please tell me about it, i am so curious to know weather it is a rare piece or not and whats the value it holds today.

This is a Birmingham maker that did good but not best work. The value will not be all that much unless the right person comes along. But, they're not rare and the condition of this one is marginal so even then (should the right person come along) it won't bring a lot. My opinion.
 
You might PM @cal pappas. He is extremely knowledgeable about doubles

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
