The Midland Gun Company of Birmingham has long been respected for producing robust and reliable British boxlocks that exemplify the pragmatic elegance of mid-century gunmaking. This 12-gauge side-by-side represents a classic era of United Kingdom manufacturing, designed for balance and enduring performance in the field.

This 1952 example is presented in fabulous condition, featuring highly appealing dark wood shaped into a comfortable Prince of Wales stock with a slight right-hand cast. The receiver retains approximately 25% of its original color-hardening and is adorned with charmingly simple scroll engraving, while the 28-inch barrels show 85% of their original blueing.

Configured with 2 ¾-inch chambers and fixed chokes, this unit utilizes extractors and a solid 9mm to 6 ½mm tapered rib ending in a silver bead sight for a traditional sight picture. The double-trigger mechanism remains precise and the action locks up tight, ensuring this vintage piece is ready for many more seasons of service in the upland tradition.
