* I forgot to mention it comes with a neat little pair of Skeeter 's that instantly adapt the gun to 12g. shells!

Henry Atkin worked for James Purdey and proudly stated this fact on his barrels. The barrels on this gun are made from the finest steel of the the period, Sir Joseph Whitworth steel. These are at no surprise the same barrels that Purdey used on their shotguns.

This is a wonderful example. With beautiful perfectly struck 30" steel barrels, perfectly executed scroll engraving, and a stunning piece of English walnut this true Scottish round action meets the hard to find balance between art and function.

Yes, she is in proof, tight on face, field ready!

The oak and leather case is in excellent condition and alone would be over a thousand dollar value.

A super value on a super nice round action.

This is a super example of what Grant could do and at a very attractive price. Note the 2 3/4" nitro proofs.

I love the original and unmessed with feel of this shotgun. The barrels are well in "12" proof with both barrels at .735 and with excellent wall thickness. The stock dimensions are perfect for the masses and the chokes being full and full one can now make them anything they want. We charge $75.00 per barrel to open chokes. All in all an excellent London gun at a very attractive price point when compared with a similar quality London gun such as a Boss or Purdey.

This shotgun shows near 100% case color and near 100% barrel black and wood finish. The barrel sets are quite versatile in their choke combinations with an open choked set for close in work like for Quail and skeet and the number 2 set with tight chokes for those late season south Dakota roosters or sporting clays.

Note the light weight, 6 lbs. 6 oz!

* The case colors were done by the best in the world, St. Ledger in the UK.

Take a close look at the engraving as it is exceptional.

Featuring 2 3/4" nitro proofs on excellent newer barrels by famous gun maker Churchill’s and great stock dimensions for many this Holland is a real value for the upland bird hunter.

Great stock dimensions for many combined with a useful choking and excellent wall thickness makes this little and light English sidelock a real find.

I do feel it was when new ( I believe the ninth gun built in 1933) a semi-pistol grip gun and it has since been expertly converted to a straight grip.

16g. Sidelocks are very hard for me to find so I was extremely excited to find this little gem in the UK and bring it across the pond. The non –selective single trigger (believe me that is a good thing, selective triggers are the ones that give single triggers a reputation for failure) is crisp and works perfectly. Choking is perfect for upland hunting or woodcock or southern bobwhites. I love 16g. and I really like this gun.
