This side by side shotgun has a presentation silver plaque on the left side of the butt inscribed "Presented to/Frederick Girling PDCR/by the Brothers of Court/Sir Colin Campbell for/services rendered by him/to the above/Court June 13th 1866." Coincidentally, this is the same date U.S. Congress passed the 14th Amendment. Colin Campbell (1792-1863) was the oldest son of Colin Macliver and was mistakenly entered into the British Army as Colin Campbell when his uncle Colonel John Campbell presented him to the Duke of York. He kept the name and rose through the ranks of the British Army fighting in multiple conflicts including the War of 1812 and Crimean War. In 1857 during the Indian Mutiny, he became Commander-in-Chief of India. The shotgun has no markings aside from the plaque and the English proofs and numbers on the bottom of the barrels. The shotgun has a single bead front sight on the front of the concave rib and features scroll engraving on the locks, breech of the barrel, tangs, ramrod tailpipe, trigger guard, and buttplate. It has double triggers with a 14 inch length of pull. The ramrod has a flared brass tip and a long brass end. It is fitted with a straight wrist English walnut stock with checkered forend and grip. It comes in a wooden case with fitted green velvet lined interior containing a powder flask with leave and animal engraving, long thin shot pouch with sling, cleaning tools, wads, punch, and cap tin.
