This Blanch is in very good to excellent overall condition, with the border and floral engraved sidelock action retaining traces of original case coloring for authentic patina. The 28" barrels show strong original finish and bright bores, choked Improved Cylinder in both for excellent close-to-mid-range performance (15–35 yards), ideal for partridge, quail, or skeet. The checkered walnut straight-grip stock with carved teardrops and blank oval in the toe line is very fine, displaying only light handling marks. Stock dimensions—LOP of 14 7/8" over 1 1/2" wooden extension, DAC of 1 1/2", DAH of 2 1/8"—offer a comfortable, classic fit (cast to be verified, typically neutral or slight cast-off). The double triggers, automatic ejectors, and cocking indicators operate mechanically excellent, with a tight lockup reflecting Blanch’s enduring craftsmanship. A charming, authentic Victorian London side-by-side, ready for display or careful black powder/light modern load use.
