This is a classic Patstone & Cox Boxlock Ejector Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 gauge, crafted by Patstone & Cox of Southampton, England, a lesser-known but respected English gunmaker active in the early 20th century. The serial number 2012 suggests production in the 1920s or 1930s, a period when Patstone & Cox produced quality shotguns for sporting use, often tailored for upland game hunting. These firearms are valued for their traditional English craftsmanship and lightweight design, making them a favorite among enthusiasts of fine British doubles.

This example is in fine condition as earlier refinished, featuring 28" barrels with bright bores and robust wall thicknesses (Right .033, Left .032), choked Full and Improved Cylinder for versatile field performance. The boxlock action, equipped with double triggers, automatic safety, and ejectors, is tight on face and mechanically sound. The oil-finished checkered English walnut stock, with a checkered butt, shows light impressions consistent with careful use, while the receiver has toned to an attractive patina, and the barrels exhibit minor finish losses. Housed in its original Patstone & Son makers case with cleaning rod and jags, this shotgun is both a functional piece and a collectible gem.
