The Midland Gun Company established a storied reputation in the heart of the British gun trade, producing reliable and elegant firearms from their workshops in Birmingham & London. This 1925 hammergun represents the classic English side-by-side design, reflecting a period when craftsmanship and utility were seamlessly integrated for the discerning field sportsman.

This specific unit is in **very good overall condition**, featuring a straight English wood stock in excellent state paired with 30-inch barrels that retain approximately 70% of their original bluing. While the fore-end shows signs of honest use—including a dent on the right side and a chipped tip—the receiver and rebounding hammers are beautifully adorned with **fine scroll engraving**, and the barrels are clearly marked with the maker’s prestigious Birmingham & London address.

Mechanically, the action remains smooth and the rebounding hammers **lock up tight**, while the 2 ¾-inch chambers are paired with fixed Full and Improved Modified chokes beneath a brass bead sight. Weighing 6 lbs 12 ⅘ oz with a 13 ⅞-inch length of pull, this C&R eligible piece offers a balanced, traditional feel for the vintage firearms enthusiast.
