Description:
OVERVIEW
Produced by the renowned British maker Thomas Wild in Birmingham, vintage single-shot side-hammer shotguns from the 1920s are highly traditional. They are classic, lightweight field guns highly regarded among collectors for their solid lock-up, heritage, and natural pointing ability.

Key Characteristics & Performance
Thomas Wild was a prolific Birmingham-based gunmaker who produced both high-end double guns and affordable, utilitarian single-shot hammer guns. 
  • Handling & Build: These single-shot hammer guns typically feature English walnut stocks and traditional Anson-release splinter forends. Because they lack the bulk of a second barrel, they are incredibly quick to the shoulder and excellent for walked-up upland game or small-game hunting. 
  • Lock-Up: They often feature robust actions, such as rebounding hammers and Greener cross-bolt locking, which ensure reliable operation. 
  • Proofing & Ammunition: Vintage 1920s models were typically built with 2.5-inch or 2.75-inch chambers. Before firing any vintage Thomas Wild shotgun, you should carefully examine the British Proof Marks stamped on the barrel flats to ensure the gun remains nitro-proofed for modern, low-pressure or vintage-equivalent loads. 
Condition
This is a really neat gun in great shape.  I never seen another like it.  Barrel may have an early reblack.  Barrel marrked T Wild Whitthall St Birmingham.

This is a used item. While we do not test-fire our used firearms, we perform an inspection and function check to ensure they are fully functional to the best of our ability.
