Excellent and very attractive B. Halliday & Co Ltd London side by side shotgun chambered in the highly desirable 16 gauge. Features 26 inch solid rib barrels choked Full and Improved Modified with 2 3/4 inch chambers, double triggers, extractor action, checkered straight English stock, silver inlay splinter forearm, and a 14 1/4 inch length of pull. Receiver retains strong original case hardening colors with detailed scroll engraving and crisp B. Halliday banner engraving giving the gun exceptional classic English character. Barrels retain strong blued finish throughout with excellent bores. The action remains extremely tight, showing this shotgun has seen very little actual field use. Lightweight, lively, and well-balanced in the hands, this is a fine example of a traditional London-built field gun with elegant lines, quality craftsmanship, and outstanding overall condition. An excellent sporting shotgun equally suited for the collector or upland hunter seeking a classic English double. Serial Number 1946.
