Cased Pair – Charles Lancaster Assisted Opening Back-Action Sidelock SxS Shotguns – 12 Gauge – 30" Barrels

Beautiful matched pair of Charles Lancaster Back-Action Sidelock Side-by-Side Shotguns, 12 Gauge, built in 1900 and featuring assisted opening, fine scroll engraving, and London-quality craftsmanship. Both guns are near-identical in dimensions and weight, and remain tight, elegant, and shoot-ready.
Each gun is fitted with 30" barrels, 2 ½" chambers, and fixed Modified & Improved Cylinder chokes, with automatic safeties, back-action sidelocks, and assisted openers. Both receivers are engraved in fine English scroll, true to the Lancaster style.
Stocked in oil-finished English walnut with sharp checkering, straight grips, and splinter forends. Butts remain excellent, while both forearms show moderate honest wear. Bores are brilliant, and both actions are tight on face.
