This is an exceptional Boss & Co Sidelock Ejector Shotgun in 12 gauge, crafted by the legendary British gunmaker Boss & Co. in London, England. The serial number 5933 dates to circa 1911, with replacement nitro barrels fitted by Gallyon & Sons Ltd. in 1957, as noted in records. Founded in 1812, Boss & Co. is renowned as one of the finest gunmakers in the world, celebrated for its bespoke sidelock shotguns that epitomize British craftsmanship. This example features the iconic easy-opening sidelock action, adorned with best-quality fine acanthus scroll and floral bouquet engravings, making it a masterpiece of both artistry and function. The 28" barrels, choked Improved Modified and Improved Cylinder, are nitro-proved for modern smokeless powder, ideal for upland game or sporting clays. Its historical significance lies in Boss & Co.’s reputation for producing some of the most elegant and reliable shotguns, favored by aristocrats and sportsmen for over a century.
This shotgun is in very good condition, retaining 90% of the barrel finish with brilliant bores, indicating meticulous care. The walnut stocks show moderate wear, with checkering worn smooth and evidence of an earlier forearm repair, adding character without compromising integrity. The receiver, with its rolled-edge trigger guard and gold-inlaid “SAFE” detail, retains a silvered patina, complemented by gold-inlaid cocking indicators. The original Boss oak and leather transit case, complete with partitions, snap caps, and oil bottle, enhances its collectible value. Mechanically fine, this shotgun is ready for field use or display, with all markings crisp and legible.
