Offered here is a truly outstanding example of English gunmaking: a William Ford 20 gauge bar action sidelock shotgun, produced in 1936 and preserved in remarkably original condition. William Ford was a respected Birmingham-based gunmaker and award-winning barrel maker to the trade from 1888 to 1989, known for his precision craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Narrow action frame – beautifully scaled and finely proportioned (see quarter comparison photo)

Barrels: 25" with a distinctive Churchill rib
- Mirror bores: Right .618", Left .615"
