Description:
British C.H. SMITH & SONS Double Barrel SxS 12 Gauge C&R HAMMERLESS Shotgun

ROARING TWENTIES Era BOXLOCK Fowling Piece

Here we present a C&R British C.H. Smith Boxlock Double Barrel Side by Side Hammerless Shotgun, made circa the mid to late 1920s in Birmingham, England. Charles Hubert Smith & Company was established in 1840, but was not recorded until 1897 when the business resided at 123 Steelhouse Lane in Birmingham. In 1922 the firm was recorded as Charles H. Smith, and in about 1924 it became Charles H. Smith & Sons.
England and Belgium were the epicenter for European gunmaking all the way through the turn of the century. This is an English fowling piece that is elegant in its simplicity and practicality. This double barrel hammerless gun would have been used for putting game on the table, spending an afternoon skeet shooting, or defending one’s property.

The overall condition is very good. Refinished. The actions are excellent. The bores are shiny bright with some minor pitting just beyond the chamber in the left bore. The stock has a small repair on the right up against the frame and in the same place on the other side there is a short, thin crack. Otherwise solid.
