MARCEL DONCKIER LIEGE HAMMER SXS PIGEON 12 GAUGE

A serious Liège-built live-bird gun, this Marcel Donckier Hammer Side-by-Side Pigeon 12 Gauge reflects the strength, balance, and purposeful construction for which Belgian pigeon guns are known. Built for competitive shooting rather than ornament, it embodies the robust, workmanlike quality demanded by the sport.

The gun is fitted with 29½" solid rib barrels choked .018 and .038, nitro proofed for 2¾" chambers, and supported by strong barrel dimensions throughout. Wall thickness measures .032 left and right, with .733/.731 bores, confirming proper proportions for a dedicated pigeon gun. Best-gun features include side clips, a third fastener, double triggers, and extractors, all contributing to strength and longevity under heavy use.

Configured with a beavertail forearm, English grip, cast-off stock, and checkered butt, the gun was clearly built for a right-handed shooter and steady, repeatable mounting. It weighs 7 lbs 12 oz, with dimensions of 2⅜" DAH, 1⅜" DAC, and a generous 15¼" LOP, giving it the deliberate balance expected of a competition hammer gun.

Condition is very good, showing light handling from storage and use. There is some light pitting visible in the bores, though they remain otherwise clean and bright, and the gun is mechanically excellent throughout.

An honest, correct Marcel Donckier hammer pigeon gun—built to endure, properly dimensioned, and offered with transparent condition disclosure for the knowledgeable shooter or collector.
