Factory Engraved Thomas Bland & Sons Model K.E. Double Barrel Shotgun

Single bead sight on the smooth concave rib marked "THOMAS BLAND & SONS. 2 KING WILLIAM STREET. WEST STRAND. LONDON", 1/2 inch chambers, automatic ejectors, standard proofs on the flats, and improved cylinder/full chokes. The barrel flats are marked "SLEEVED" and there is a small importer mark on the underside of the barrel rib at the muzzle. Light border engraving on the receiver marked "BLAND & SONS" on the right and "BLAND & SONS/MODEL K.E./1913/LONDON" on the left with dual triggers and sliding tang safety. Checkered splinter forearm with lightly engraved fittings and straight grip stock with serrated hard rubber buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements are: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .732/.730 inch; minimum wall thickness .029/.030 inch; drop at comb 1 5/8 inches; drop at heel 2 1/4 inches; length of pull 14 1/8 inches.

ConditionFine as barrels professionally sleeved and refinished with 95% plus blue finish remaining, clear markings, some small dings, and traces of light edge wear. The receiver has an overall silver/gray patina with clear markings, fine engraving, and some light spotting. The wood is also fine with relatively crisp checkering, small repaired break on the inside of the forearm, and handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent.
