Antique W. Pidcock Hammer Gun 10 ga 32" Damascus barrels
Crafted in the United Kingdom in 1893, this W. Pidcock top-lever hammer gun exemplifies the robust craftsmanship and heritage of late-Victorian British gunmaking. Designed as a versatile, heavy-gauge side-by-side, it combines traditional English architecture with the enduring elegance of Damascus steel.
This imposing 10-gauge piece features 32-inch Damascus barrels joined to an attractive walnut stock with a Prince of Wales grip and a 14 ΒΌ-inch length of pull. Preserved in sound antique condition, it displays honest historical character across the metal and wood, accompanied by a well-stabilized repair to the forend.
Mechanically, the rebounding hammer action functions with authority and locks up tight on face, utilizing manual extractors and crisp double triggers. Offered cleanly as a standalone firearm without a case or accessories, this pre-1899 antique represents a commanding addition to any fine collection.
