Description:
LAST CHANCE FOR A GREAT BUY!
James William Tolley was born in 1832 in Birmingham, England. When he was 29 years old he was
gunsmithing in St. Mary's Row. Between 1883 and 1903 he introduced both boxlock and sidelock
shotguns names "Altro 12" which was said to be a shotgun suitable for for "ordinary game as well as
duck or pigeon shooting. Between 1904 and 1909 the company was recorded at 5 regent Place.
Tolley died in 1916 and the firm was taken over by Holloway & Naughton and eventually acquired
by Skimmin & Wood in 1923. The Tolly originally had 2 1/2 inch chambers, and changed in December
of 1970 to 2 3/4 inch chambers and proofed at this time for 2 3/4 inch loads as market on the flats.
While under the control of Tolley , James became a major manufacturer (and one of the largest trade
manufacturers) of sporting shotguns and rifles. In order to understand the the type and quality, model
and type of Tolley's work, one has to realize that this was a period of invention and perfection far
surpassing anything seen either before or during the next 100 years.
This is a very nice, 12 guage, extractor with mirror bores and nice furniture as photos shown. The
Tolley is tight with no issues, and photos show the fine condition it is in. Safety functions as should
and trigger pulkl crisp. Photos reflect the quality of this English double pre 1940.
The only reason for selling the English shotguns I have on GunsInternational, is to pass along to others
the fine shotguns I have collected over years and no longer use at my age and so others can enjoy.
C&R FFL eligible.
