Description

Thank you for looking at my gun, its an Acciaio Vickers garda sport. I am not sure of its true age as ive only owned it for a year or so but i believe its from the early eighties. The gentleman i bought it from is a neighbour who has owned it since it was only a few months old (and he can not remember how long hes had it)

im not sure how to value the gun, the only other ive seen for sale was a 20 bore sold on here a couple of years ago for £375 (link below). i want cabinet soace so am selling for £180... if my memory is correct, about the same as what its restoration cost, let alone the purchase price so sorry folks NO offers

The previous owner only really used the gun on beaters day so the gun is still very tight with the colour case hardening in nice condition.

The gun did show some signs of age so the barrels where sent away to be professionaly re-blacked and the woodwork has been stripped and re-oiled. The re-oiling process involved over twenty coats of stain and oil rubbed in by hand before being taken back to a satin finish. The action was cleaned and degreased and inspected before the gun was reasemmbled

Since the restoration was complete no more than a dozen shots have been fired which is one of the reasons im selling it, the other reason is fund raising for a new semi auto

Since owning this gun i have done some investigating to find out more about it, unfortunatly i have had little luck, i have also only seen one other example for sale which was a 20 or 28 bore which sold for the same money im asking for this and was in no where near as good a condition.

It is i believe a right handed gun but i shoot left handed and have had no issues what so ever in using it

The gun is available for inspection in the CF39 area of south wales. if you want more information please contact me.

I am happy to send via RFD at the buyers cost, my local gun shop charges £25 to send guns.
