Step into Victorian-era elegance with this William Powell & Son No. 2 Bar-in-Wood Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 Gauge, crafted by William Powell & Son in Birmingham, England, a premier maker of bespoke sporting arms in the late 19th century. The serial number 6460 suggests production in the 1880s–1890s, aligning with Powell's bar-in-wood designs, patented for their integrated action and reliability in the field. This No4473 antique, with 30" Damascus barrels, is a collector's prize for black powder enthusiasts or historians.

This example is in Very Good+ condition as tastefully restored, with Damascus barrels showing good pattern but some pitting, consistent with age, but structurally sound for display or careful use. The fixed chokes are suited for close-range targets (10–25 yards), ideal for driven game like partridge. The border and scroll engraved gas-port action, with grip safety and lever release, retains attractive patina. The checkered walnut straight-grip stock, with blank oval in toe line, has light handling marks but excellent aesthetics. The bar-in-wood mechanism and double triggers operate mechanically Very Good+, with a tight lockup reflecting Powell's craftsmanship.
