These spectacular guns exhibit only very minimal use. They are an absolutely matched trio and the epitome of the MacNaughton/Dickson round body trigger plate actions. They are cased in the makers three gun motor case with canvas cover, two keys, cleaning rod and attachments, snap caps, oil bottle, and turn screws. Oil bottle and turn screws with maker's logo.
David McKay Brown apprenticed with Alex Martin in Glasgow and John Dickson in Edinburgh. He started his own company in 1974 reintroducing the Scottish round body trigger plate game gun. Mr. Brown has now retired from gunmaking and sold his business in 2021. There will be no more made by his hand. Hopefully, Grant Buchan, the new owner will continue his legacy.
