Barford Boxlock Lifter Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 gauge, crafted by Henry William Barford in Birmingham, England. The serial number 69361 aligns with production around 1920, consistent with the period when H.W. Barford was active as a gunmaker in the British firearms trade. H.W. Barford, operating in Birmingham, a hub of English gunmaking, was known for producing reliable and well-crafted sporting arms, often as a “guild gun” where components like actions, barrels, and stocks were sourced from specialist makers and assembled under the Barford name. This boxlock lifter, featuring the Anson & Deeley action, was designed for field use, with its 2 1/2" chambers and Improved Modified/Cylinder chokes ideal for upland game and wildfowling. Its historical significance lies in its representation of Birmingham’s robust gunmaking industry during the early 20th century, offering quality shotguns at accessible prices compared to high-end London makers. This example is in very fine condition as earlier refinished, with bright bores indicating minimal use and excellent maintenance. The 30" barrels retain a refreshed blue finish, and the oil-finished walnut stock, with a 14 1/2" LOP, is fine with minor handling marks, adding character without detracting from its appeal. The boxlock action, equipped with double triggers and lifter extractors, functions flawlessly, ensuring reliability for display or cautious field use with appropriate low-pressure loads. All markings, likely including “H.W. BARFORD” on the rib or action, are crisp and legible. Don’t miss your chance to own this beautifully preserved H.W. Barford Boxlock Lifter, a classic example of British firearms craftsmanship. Click the “Buy It Now” button or call 478-337-1000 to secure this fine shotgun today!
