Rosson & Son of Derby Boxlock Side-by-Side Shotgun in 12 gauge, crafted by C.S. Rosson & Co., a respected English gunmaker based in Norwich and Derby, known for producing quality sporting guns in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The low serial number 3498 suggests production in the late 1800s to early 1900s. This antique-status shotgun, with its lightweight design and versatile Full/Improved Cylinder chokes, is ideal for collectors or upland game hunters seeking a classic English double.

This example is in very good plus overall condition, featuring 28" barrels with fixed Full and Improved Cylinder chokes, perfect for upland shooting, and a single bead front sight. The boxlock receiver retains much of its original case color with light bouquet and foliate-scroll engraving, as seen in similar Rosson shotguns, adding to its aesthetic appeal. The barrels show slight thinning of the finish, a common sign of age and use that does not affect performance. The straight-grip walnut stock with a blank oval and splinter forend measures a LOP of 14 1/2", showing light handling marks. The action is tight and crisp, with double triggers, a tang safety, and extractors ensuring reliable operation.
