HENRY MONK SIDE BY SIDE SHOTGUN – .410 GAUGE – EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION – CIRCA 1920s

Price: $3,500.00

Offered by Peterson Collective is a stunning and petite Henry Monk side by side shotgun chambered in .410 gauge, known for its elegant design and superb craftsmanship. Manufactured in Chester, England, this shotgun is a perfect representation of the fine gunmaking tradition prevalent in Britain during the early 20th century. Henry Monk was an esteemed British gunmaker operating out of Chester during this time, celebrated for producing high-quality side-by-side shotguns that emphasized craftsmanship and reliability. Monk’s guns became synonymous with elegance and performance, appealing to enthusiasts and bird hunters alike.

This exquisite shotgun features 26-inch barrels with 2 1/2" chambers and extractors, showcasing bright and shiny bores that exhibit wide open cylinder and cylinder chokes, making it perfect for a variety of shooting applications. The top of the barrels is neatly marked with "Henry Monk Chester," affirming its heritage. The receiver boasts a polished coin finish adorned with intricate factory engraving scrollwork, indicative of the fine artistry that characterizes Henry Monk’s craftsmanship. With three pins securing the receiver and screws showing little sign of being turned, this firearm demonstrates careful assembly and exceptional preservation.

The shotgun employs a break down lever that sits slightly to the right, ensuring a secure lockup and excellent face alignment. The factory double triggers are complemented by a beautifully crafted straight English-style stock, which features strong and crisp checkering to enhance grip and control during shooting. The stock also has a checkered butt and can easily be modified to accommodate a pad for lengthening if desired. The length of pull to the front trigger measures 13 1/2 inches, with a drop at the comb of 1 3/8 inches and a heel drop of 2 inches, presenting a straight, neutral cast that is comfortable for shooters of various sizes.

Weighing in at a lightweight 4.38 lbs., this shotgun is truly a great little bird gun, making it ideal for hunters of all sizes. Its quick handling characteristics allow for a snappy raise, making it a delightful option for upland bird hunting or small game pursuits. This Henry Monk side by side shotgun stands as a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and rich history of British gunmaking. Its combination of elegant design, functional attributes, and exceptional condition makes it a valuable addition to any discerning collection or a unique companion for the passionate bird hunter.
