Williams & Powell 12 Gauge Boxlock Ejector – Serial No. 10285
This distinguished 12-gauge boxlock ejector, bearing serial number 10285, is a testament to the esteemed craftsmanship of Williams & Powell, a prominent Liverpool gunmaker active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While exact manufacturing records are scarce, the serial number suggests production circa the early 1900s.
Featuring 30" Damascus barrels with a rich browned finish, the shotgun is choked Improved Cylinder (right) and Improved Modified (left), and chambered for 2¾" cartridges. The solid concave rib offers a classic sighting plane, complemented by double triggers and an articulated front trigger for refined shooting.cpoutfitters
The stock dimensions are tailored for optimal fit: a length of pull measuring 14¾" to the front trigger, a drop at comb of 1?", drop at heel of 2 5⁄16", and a cast-off at face of 3⁄8". These measurements ensure a comfortable and precise shooting experience.collectorsfirearms+4guntrader.uk+4williampowell+4
Accompanying the firearm is a well-traveled canvas and leather case, housing a traditional wooden cleaning rod, a comprehensive cleaning kit, and a barrel hand guard—attesting to the meticulous care and maintenance bestowed upon this piece.
This shotgun was part of the personal collection of the late Cyril S. Adams, renowned shooter, author, and former proprietor of Atkin, Grant & Lang, London. Adams' unwavering dedication to the preservation and appreciation of fine English shotguns is reflected in this exemplary piece.
