B. Halliday & Co 12-Bore Boxlock Ejector | Game Scene Engraved | 30" Sleeved Barrels

A distinctive B. Halliday & Co 12-bore boxlock ejector, combining excellent condition with rarely seen engraving details for this type of gun. B. Halliday began his career at W.J. Jeffery & Co, but in 1921 struck out on his own, establishing his firm at 60 Queen Victoria Street. Not long after, he was joined by Watson A. Greenfield, another craftsman from Jeffery, and together they carried the Halliday name forward until around 1960.

This example stands apart for its game scene engraved action, a feature not often encountered on A&D actions. The right side of the bar displays a handsome vignette of two English setters, while the left shows a lively group of pheasants, all framed by border and acanthus scroll. Traces of original case color still highlight the engraving.

It features 30" sleeved barrels, nitro proofed at 3 Tons, with clean bores that ring clear. The barrels are on face without movement on the action. Stock dimensions suit the modern shooter well, and the action remains smooth and mechanically sound throughout.

This Halliday combines sporting artistry and excellent condition in a highly shootable package.
