The serial number 18996 confirms production in 1955, aligning with records of Thomas Bland shotguns from the mid-20th century. Founded in 1840, Thomas Bland & Sons was renowned for producing high-quality sporting arms, particularly boxlock and sidelock shotguns, favored by British sportsmen for upland game and wildfowling. The Anson & Deeley boxlock action, paired with automatic ejectors, ensures reliability and elegance, while the 28" barrels with Full and Improved Cylinder chokes offer versatility for field or clays. Its historical significance lies in its representation of post-war British gunmaking, with Thomas Bland’s craftsmanship, under Clifford Bland’s leadership, specializing in robust and finely finished shotguns. This example is in extremely fine condition, retaining most of its original blue finish on the barrels and 80% of the vibrant case colors on the receiver, showcasing meticulous care. The bores are bright, indicating minimal use, and the walnut stocks, with a 15 3/4" LOP and 1" extension, are very fine with some period-of-use bruises adding character. The double triggers and ejectors function flawlessly, and the shotgun is mechanically excellent, ready for field or display. All markings, including the likely “T. BLAND & SONS” on the rib, are crisp and legible, as typical for Bland shotguns (). Don’t miss your chance to own this beautifully preserved Thomas Bland Box Lock Ejector, a true gem of British firearms heritage.
