Charles Lancaster has been one of the elite names in the British shotgun business for well over 100 years. Absorbed by Grant and Lang in the 1930's, the guns Lancaster designed remained in production and his patents and styles continued to be utilized by the "BEST GUN" trade. This pair of guns is described below and the details are shown in the table attached to this ad. THIS LISTING IS PRICED AS A PAIR, BOTH SHOTGUNS, WITH CASE.

Holland style bar lock actions feature non-automatic safeties (SAFE is inlaid in gold), bushed strikers, and non-selective single triggers. Lockplates are fitted with H & H style hand detachable pin. Actions and lockplates are engraved with well executed large flowing open scroll. “Chas. Lancaster” is in arched rib band on each lockplate. Bottoms of actions are engraved “De Luxe Assisted Opener”.
