The traditional British boxlock side-by-side remains a definitive symbol of early 20th-century gunmaking, prized for its mechanical simplicity and superb balance in the field. Manufactured in the United Kingdom in 1930, this 12-gauge model reflects the refined aesthetics and enduring utility that have made the boxlock action a cornerstone of English sporting tradition.

This superb ninety-five-year-old example presents in remarkable condition, featuring a straight-hand English walnut stock with a left-handed cast and a tapered rib stamped with the provenance of "H. Atkinson, Swansea." The 30-inch barrels retain approximately 85% of their original bluing and are fitted with an Easyhit fiber-optic front sight for fast, instinctive target acquisition, while the woodwork shows only negligible handling marks.

The action locks up beautifully smoothly while remaining reassuringly tight, utilizing a double-trigger configuration, ejectors, and an automatic safety. Configured with 2½-inch chambers and fixed chokes, this elegant field gun weighs 6 lbs 8 9/10 oz and is classified as a Curio & Relic firearm.
