T.C. Martin Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 gauge, crafted by Thomas Clunes Martin in Glasgow, Scotland, a lesser-known but respected gunmaker operating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The serial number N309 and 2 1/2" chambers suggest a vintage firearm, likely from the early 1900s, qualifying as Curio & Relic (C&R) eligible due to its age. This restored shotgun, with its fixed Modified and Cylinder chokes and 28" barrels, is ideal for upland hunting or vintage clay shooting, offering a balance of handling and open patterns for close-range targets.

This example is in near excellent condition, having been professionally restored. The 28" barrels feature a solid rib inscribed with the maker’s name and address ("T.C. Martin, Glasgow") and a front bead for precise sight alignment. The fixed Modified and Cylinder chokes (~.020" and ~.000" constriction) are suited for close to mid-range targets (10–30 yards), ideal for upland game like grouse or partridge. The boxlock receiver, finely scroll-engraved with game scenes, is in excellent condition, showcasing the artistry typical of Scottish gunmaking. The replacement highly figured walnut straight-grip stock, checkered with teardrop patterns, and the splinter forend with Deeley release show a few light marks, consistent with careful use post-restoration. The stock specifications—LOP of 15", DAC of 1 1/2", DAH of 2 1/4", —enhance alignment for shooters. The double triggers and automatic ejectors provide traditional yet reliable operation. Weighing 6 lbs 7 oz, this shotgun is mechanically excellent with a tight lockup.

Don’t miss the opportunity to own this T.C. Martin, a beautifully restored 12 gauge side-by-side with intricate game scene engraving and classic performance for upland hunting or collectors of vintage firearms.
