Discover premium British-Spanish collaboration with this exceptional William Powell & Son Monarch side-by-side shotgun in 20 Gauge—a fine-quality sidelock ejector from the Continental range, built by master Spanish maker Arrieta to Powell's exacting standards on a traditional square sidelock action with Holland & Holland-inspired features. The Monarch model is celebrated for its refined handling, vivid engraving, and lively performance, making it a favorite for upland game like grouse, partridge, or quail in a balanced, fast-swinging package.

The 28" barrels marked “William Powell Continental” deliver versatile Modified & Improved Modified fixed chokes for effective patterning on flushing birds at moderate ranges, with 2 3/4" chambers handling standard 20-gauge loads comfortably. Stock dimensions—14 7/8" LOP, 1 3/8" DAC, 2" DAH, and 8mm cast-off—offer a quick, instinctive mount ideal for right-handed shooters, while the straight grip walnut stock features attractive checkering and carved teardrops for enhanced grip and classic aesthetics.

Condition is excellent and reflects careful preservation: vivid case colors on the scroll-engraved sidelocks shine brightly, metal finishes strong with no significant wear or pitting, action tight, and overall presentation near-mint with only faint wood marks from light handling. Mechanically flawless—smooth operation, positive ejectors, and crisp double triggers highlight the model's high build quality and reliability.

Housed in the original maker’s canvas and leather travel case (labeled “William Powell Since 1802”) with full protective “pajamas” (stock and barrel covers) and leather straps, this is a complete, turn-key field gun ready for the uplands or collection. This lightly used specimen with exceptional presentation offers outstanding appeal and value for the discerning wingshooter or English-style double enthusiast.

Don’t miss this fine William Powell & Son Monarch—an excellent 20 Gauge side-by-side with sidelock refinement, vivid case colors, and complete cased accessories. Perfect for upland pursuits or as a standout heritage piece. Click “Buy It Now” or call 478-337-1000 to claim this shotgun today!
