Step into the golden age of British gunmaking with this Jackson Hammer Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 Gauge, crafted in the mid-19th century with the classic Jones under-lever action that defined fast-handling percussion doubles. The serial number 1239 places this in the Victorian era, when Jackson built reliable, elegant fowling pieces for the discerning sportsman.

This Jackson is in near excellent overall condition, restored, with vivid Damascus barrels retaining strong patterning and bright bores for excellent performance with black powder loads. The 30" barrels, choked Modified and Improved Cylinder, are ideal for close-to-mid-range targets (15–35 yards), perfect for driven game like partridge or upland birds. The border and scroll engraved back-action locks and action remain crisp and sharp, complemented by the checkered walnut straight-grip stock with carved teardrops and engraved oval initial plate in the toe line, showing only light handling marks. The double triggers and Jones under-lever operate mechanically excellent, with a tight lockup reflecting Jackson’s robust craftsmanship. Housed in an oak and leather travel case with maker’s label (likely a replacement), this is a turn-key, collector-grade Victorian hammer gun ready for display or careful black powder use.
