Cogswell & Harrison, established in 1770, remains one of London’s most historic and respected gunmakers, celebrated for producing firearms that balance elegant aesthetics with mechanical reliability. This 1911-manufactured Sideplated Boxlock represents a pinnacle of Edwardian-era craftsmanship, offering the sophisticated appearance of a sidelock with the proven durability of a side-by-side action.

This specific 12-gauge is in exceptional condition, featuring an English walnut stock with a butt plate that retains its sharp checkering, showing only one small mark on the right side near the butt. The receiver and fences are decorated with lovely scroll engraving, while the 27 ½-inch barrels are fitted with a silver bead sight and show well-preserved bluing alongside a well-maintained blued finish on the bottom of the receiver.

The break action locks up tight and the ejectors function perfectly, ensuring a crisp and reliable mechanical feel during use. Weighing 6 pounds 4.8 ounces with 2 ½-inch chambers and fixed chokes, this versatile firearm is an exquisite choice for the traditional field sportsman.
