William & Son Sidelock shotgun review

William & Son Sidelock shotgun.
The gun we are looking at this month is a 12-bore by William & Son that hits my scales at 6lb 10oz.

It has Celtic-style engraving (which seems to have become fashionable in recent years).

First impressions are encouraging. This is a beautifully finished, classic London side-by-side, sidelock game gun.

The decoration is unusual but there is nothing radical about the mechanical specification (and nothing wrong with that, as everything conforms to classic, time-proven pattern).

The gun is of carriage trade quality in all departments.
