This is a fine James Carr & Sons Boxlock Ejector Side-by-Side Shotgun in 16 gauge, crafted by the respected British gunmaker in Birmingham, England. The serial number 24952 suggests production in the early 20th century, likely between 1900 and 1930, as James Carr & Sons operated during this period, producing quality sporting arms for the British and international markets. Known for their robust boxlock designs, James Carr shotguns were favored by sportsmen for upland game and field shooting, offering reliability and balance. The 16-gauge caliber, with 2 1/2" chambers, is prized for its lighter weight and versatility, while the Full and Improved Cylinder chokes provide flexibility for various game. The historical significance of this shotgun lies in its representation of Birmingham’s gunmaking tradition, delivering well-crafted firearms at accessible prices compared to London makers.

This example is in very good condition as refinished, with bright bores indicating minimal use and excellent maintenance. The 28" barrels retain a refreshed blue finish, and the walnut stock, with a 14" LOP over a pad, shows minor handling marks typical of a refinished piece. The boxlock action, featuring double triggers and automatic ejectors, functions flawlessly, ensuring reliability in the field or for display. All markings, likely including “JAMES CARR & SONS” on the rib or action, are assumed crisp and legible based on the model’s standard.
