Thomas Johnson & Son – The Rarest of All Left-Hand Victorian Sidelocks
An extraordinarily scarce bespoke left-handed sidelock by the respected London/Birmingham maker Thomas Johnson & Son, built with their patented left-hand opening top-lever and automatic safety on the left lock – features almost never seen outside a handful of custom guns made for titled left-handed clients of the Edwardian era.
The 28" Damascus barrels are choked Full / Cylinder – perfect for driven game with the right barrel and walked-up work with the left. The action remains tight, the ejectors are timed perfectly, and the lockwork is still crisp after 130+ years.
Very few true left-handed Victorian best guns exist in any form; a Johnson with these patented features is believed to be one of few known survivors.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a fully functional, patented left-hand Victorian sidelock by Thomas Johnson & Son – the ultimate collector’s and southpaw shooter’s dream. Click “Buy It Now” or call 478-337-1000 to secure this historic masterpiece today!
