Factory Engraved Charles Lancaster Sidelock Ejector Double Rifle with Case

This rifle was manufactured in 1907 per page 121 of Nigel Brown's "British Gunmakers Volume One: London". Built with blued steel barrels featuring a ramped beaded blade front sight with a flip-up moon sight, three leaf (two folding, on standing) rear sight on the rear quarter rib which is marked "CHARLES LANCASTER. 11 PANTON STREET. HAYMARKET LONDON.", import mark under the forend, and period London nitro proofs. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened self-opening sideclipped sidelock action which displays highly attractive floral scroll engraving surrounding "C. LANCASTER/LONDON" banners on either side and "CHARLES LANCASTER" signatures on either lockplate. The gun features removable firing pins, chambers with automatic ejectors, double triggers, and an automatic tang safety with gold inlaid "SAFE" and secondary safety bar. Mounted with a beautifully figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and a round knob pistol grip stock with shadowline cheekpiece, blank silver inscription oval, and leather cover recoil pad. Includes a canvas bound takedown case with reproduction trade label, a pair of nickel snap caps, a nickel oiler, and cleaning tools. Length of pull 14 9/16 inches. Weight 9 lbs. 10 oz.

ConditionVery fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 99% blue and casehardened finishes with minor handling evidence and some minor areas of subsurface spotting. There is a crack at the upper right stock horn; otherwise, the wood is very fine with a few minor marks and sharp checkering. The case is very good. Mechanically excellent.
