HIGH CONDITION Rare Thomas Bland "The Keeper's Gun" Double Barrel Breechloading Shotgun with Nickel Plated Action for Coastal Waterfowling, 10 Ga, mfg. ca. 1885. This is a rare high quality double by one of London's best and longest running makers in phenomenal original condition. Pictures do not do this gun justice! Damascus barrels measure 32" long and feature a brass bead front sight. The top rib is engraved "T. BLAND & SONS. 106 STRAND. LONDON. "THE KEEPER'S GUN" NEW MODEL". Both locks are engraved "T. BLAND & SONS". The barrels retain 95% vivid original Damascus finish with only the very slightest wear at the muzzle and top of the breech. The frame, locks, hammers, top lever, upper & lower tangs, triggerguard & triggers, forearm, and extractor are Nickel plated which was popular at the time for coastal waterfowl guns since Nickel held up better against the harsh salt water elements than bluing or case color. The aforementioned parts show 98% bright original Nickel finish. The stock features a checkered English style straight wrist accompanied by a checkered forestock. The checkering shows little wear and is still very sharp. The wood retains a pleasing original finish with minimal wear or handling mars. There is a 1 1/4" crack 1 1/2" check on the left side of the buttstock forward of the buttplate which likely occurred from hot/cold element changes. They do not detract from the gun and could easily be repaired if desired. There are no additional cracks, chips, or repairs. Original horn buttplate and rubber pad. The pad shows moderate wear and is still relatively pliable. One screw plug is missing. Buttstock is fitted with a solid Silver nameplate which has turned black with age. Original horn forend tip is perfect. Matching serial numbers are stamped on the water table, under the barrels, on the forestock, and engraved on the lower tang. Both actions are crisp and function excellent, and both firing pins move freely. The barrels lock up tighter than a bank vault against the frame. There is NO play whatsoever. The bores are excellent. They are bright and shiny with no rust, frosting, or dings, and only minimal surface scuffing near the breech. A quick cleaning would likely remove any marks. Considering this is an 1880's blackpowder shotgun they are stunning! LOP measures 13 5/8" to rear trigger, 14 1/2" to front trigger. Weight of the gun is just under 9 3/4 lbs. Barrels are proofed for 2 5/8" blackpowder shells. Thomas Bland shotguns are highly sought after and this is by far the finest condition example we have ever owned. A prize addition to any shotgun or antique arms collection! No FFL required on pre-1899 firearms. No sales of modern firearms or antique firearms that can fire modern ammunition to the state of California or California residents. No sales of modern firearms or antique firearms that can fire modern ammunition to any of the five counties of New York City or their residents. Any handgun, including antiques, that are shipped to the state of New Jersey must be shipped to an FFL holder. Payment can be made by way of money order, banker's check, or personal check (Please allow 7-10 days for clearance on personal checks). We accept credit cards for modest purchases only. Non-firing items may be purchased through PayPal. If not satisfied with an item within 3 days of receiving it, simply return the item in the same condition as shipped for a full refund, minus shipping costs. Layaway may be allowed upon negotiation, but will void inspection privileges. Buyer pays actual shipping costs, including packaging fees, shipping services (USPS or UPS), and insurance. FFL is required on all firearms manufactured after 1898 (mfg. 1899-present). C&R is acceptable for any firearm manufactured over 50 years ago from the current date. Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antiques only. Any firearms occasionally sold from our private collection that do require an FFL or C&R are shipped through a licensed FFL dealer. All firearms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm.

They do not detract from the gun and could easily be repaired if desired. There are no additional cracks, chips, or repairs. Original horn buttplate and rubber pad. The pad shows moderate wear and is still relatively pliable. One screw plug is missing. Buttstock is fitted with a solid Silver nameplate which has turned black with age. Original horn forend tip is perfect. Matching serial numbers are stamped on the water table, under the barrels, on the forestock, and engraved on the lower tang. Both actions are crisp and function excellent, and both firing pins move freely. The barrels lock up tighter than a bank vault against the frame. There is NO play whatsoever. The bores are excellent. They are bright and shiny with no rust, frosting, or dings, and only minimal surface scuffing near the breech. A quick cleaning would likely remove any marks. Considering this is an 1880's blackpowder shotgun they are stunning! LOP measures 13 5/8" to rear trigger, 14 1/2" to front trigger. Weight of the gun is just under 9 3/4 lbs. Barrels are proofed for 2 5/8" blackpowder shells. Thomas Bland shotguns are highly sought after and this is by far the finest condition example we have ever owned. A prize addition to any shotgun or antique arms collection! No FFL required on pre-1899 firearms. No sales of modern firearms or antique firearms that can fire modern ammunition to the state of California or California residents. No sales of modern firearms or antique firearms that can fire modern ammunition to any of the five counties of New York City or their residents.

HIGH CONDITION Rare Thomas Bland "The Keeper's Gun" Double Barrel Breechloading Shotgun with Nickel Plated Action for Coastal Waterfowling, 10 Ga, mfg. ca. 1885. This is a rare high quality double by one of London's best and longest running makers in phenomenal original condition. Pictures do not do this gun justice! Damascus barrels measure 32" long and feature a brass bead front sight. The top rib is engraved "T. BLAND & SONS. 106 STRAND. LONDON. "THE KEEPER'S GUN" NEW MODEL". Both locks are engraved "T. BLAND & SONS". The barrels retain 95% vivid original Damascus finish with only the very slightest wear at the muzzle and top of the breech. The frame, locks, hammers, top lever, upper & lower tangs, triggerguard & triggers, forearm, and extractor are Nickel plated which was popular at the time for coastal waterfowl guns since Nickel held up better against the harsh salt water elements than bluing or case color. The aforementioned parts show 98% bright original Nickel finish. The stock features a checkered English style straight wrist accompanied by a checkered forestock. The checkering shows little wear and is still very sharp. The wood retains a pleasing original finish with minimal wear or handling mars. There is a 1 1/4" crack 1 1/2" check on the left side of the buttstock forward of the buttplate which likely occurred from hot/cold element changes. They do not detract from the gun and could easily be repaired if desired. There are no additional cracks, chips, or repairs. Original horn buttplate and rubber pad. The pad shows moderate wear and is still relatively pliable. One screw plug is missing. Buttstock is fitted with a solid Silver nameplate which has turned black with age.
