The English sidelock shotgun represents the height of early 20th-century gunmaking, prized for its sophisticated internal mechanics and refined balance. Produced in the United Kingdom in 1922, this R. Blanton 12-gauge side-by-side illustrates the enduring design and prestige of the classic British firearm.

This specific unit is a characterful sidelock showing signs of extensive use and honest repairs that indicate it has been well loved over its long history. The walnut Prince of Wales stock is finished with a 14 ¾-inch length of pull, while the 30-inch barrels feature a solid tapered rib measuring 11 ½mm to 6 ⁹/₁₀mm and 2 ½-inch chambers.

Despite its age, the action locks up tight and is equipped with strong ejectors and bright, clean bores. Weighing 6 lbs 13 ⅗ oz, this C&R eligible piece remains a mechanically sound example of traditional craftsmanship.
