This is a 12-bore double-barrelled boxlock action shotgun of side-by-side construction made by Watson Brothers of 29, Old Bond Street, London, as marked clearly on the top of the full 30 inch barrels, and on the action sides.  A manufacturer of high quality, handmade sporting guns since 1885, they still exist today, though not still 'in the family' or at the same address, but still making top quality bespoke sporting guns.  This example is in lovely condition, with classic cross-hatched hardwood rear and forestock, with just the odd knocks as would be expected on a Victorian-era shotgun. Delicately engraved metalwork, still retaining a lovely patina on the majority of the steel. This shotgun breaks, cocks and dry-fires with a very precise action, and can be fully stripped. It would make a fabulous addition to anybody's hunting lodge, mounted over the fireplace! Two inert cartridges are included, with more available seperately in the 'Inert Ammunition' section at £1.50 each, post free if ordered  with the shotgun. Deactivated in the UK with Certificate to UK specification.
