2 1/2" Chambers | Fixed Full & Mod

This Thomas Bland Sideplate Side by Side in 12 Ga is a classic British-made shotgun built with a strong sidelock ejector action and elegant craftsmanship.

It features a walnut Straight English stock and fixed chokes suited for versatile use.

This example is an antique with varnished English walnut that has only a few light marks while still showing crisp checkering. The Damascus barrels display a clear pattern, and the top rib is engraved with T. Bland & Sons 430 West Strand London. It has a brass bead sight, scroll engraving on the receiver and fence, a carved wooden butt plate, and a smooth break action. Made in 1887 in the United Kingdom, it remains a beautiful and well-kept piece.
