The serial number 54256 confirms production in 1925, aligning with records of Cogswell & Harrison shotguns from the interwar period. Established in 1770, Cogswell & Harrison is one of England’s oldest gunmakers, celebrated for producing high-quality sporting arms, including boxlock and sidelock shotguns, favored by British sportsmen for upland game and wildfowling. This sideplated boxlock, likely a No. 2 of a matched pair as indicated by the rib marking, features the robust Anson & Deeley action, enhanced by ornamental sideplates with fine engravings, typical of Cogswell’s craftsmanship. The 2 1/2" chambers and Modified/Improved Cylinder chokes make it ideal for traditional field shooting. Its historical significance lies in its representation of early 20th-century British gunmaking, blending functionality with elegant design for discerning shooters. This example is in very good condition as refreshed, with bright bores indicating minimal use and excellent maintenance. The 28" barrels retain most of their refreshed blue finish, and the oil-finished walnut straight stock, with a 14 1/2" LOP, shows an older repair at the top tang forward of the safety, adding character without compromising integrity. The sideplated receiver, likely engraved with scroll or game scenes, and the double triggers with automatic ejectors function flawlessly. Mechanically excellent, this shotgun is ready for field use or display. All markings, including the “COGSWELL & HARRISON LTD.” on the rib, are crisp and legible. Don’t miss your chance to own this beautifully refreshed Cogswell & Harrison Sideplated Boxlock, a classic piece of British firearms heritage.
