You sure? Never seen a no. 2 boxlock before, not sure they exist. Looks like a no. 4 deluxe to me. Cracking piece of wood and lovely case hardening though.

Nailed 3 nice mallard drakes myself today on a lovely pond near Newcastle, South Dublin - the owner is a sound guy I knew from the GAA years ago:)

The averge Irish winter is duck heaven - I feel sorry for farmers who's lands get flooded(assuming the can't house stock) but their is no doubt it makes for great sport for the keen wildfowler:)
