Description:
Hammerless Sidelocks - Stephen Grant. He worked for Boss for awhile and then gave his notice, moved next door, and hung his shingle. In not long he was counted among England\'s greatest gunmakers. It is said Boss and Grant were on good terms and often shared work when one needed help. I observed an example of this once when I found some filers initials on a Grant that looked familiar. I realized I had seen them on a Boss that I had!
This is a super example of what Grant could do and at a very attractive price. Note the 2 3/4" nitro proofs.
We recently received photo\'s of the original Grant records (Thank you Atkin, Grant & Lang!) which interestingly showed this gun while built June 25th 1921 was "destroyed by enemy action and rebuilt" April 14th 1941. This was at the height of the German bombing of London. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 3842 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
