Boss & Co. 20 Bore – 2 ¾” PROOF, 90% FACTORY CASE COLOR

Here we have an amazing find for the gunner that wants the very best available in an upland gun…a Boss 20 bore side x side built in 1946 and still retaining most all the original factory finishes.  Finding a London BEST gun that is 78 years old and has never been restored in any way sets this gun apart from most.  The engraving is still sharp and clear bearing the engraver’s “hooks” of each cut, the screws are perfect, the factory case color shows 90% coverage, the barrels 98%, and trigger guard 95% charcoal blue.  Weighing just 5 pounds 7 ounces and balanced on the hinge pin, the dynamic handling characteristics epitomize what a LONDON BEST should feel like.  This is ONE OF ONLY 260 BOSS & CO. 20 BORE GUNS EVER MADE, AND ONE OF THE BEST ORIGINAL GUNS LEFT IN THE WORLD.  Boss & Co. is the oldest maker in the London trade, having its beginnings in 1812 and operating as a privately held company to this day.  Boss only made one grade of gun…A BEST GUN.  From the Boss website:

“We would say from the outset that we make only one grade of gun and have never placed a second quality make upon the market. This policy has enabled us to retain the services of the finest workmen in London, and to give them continuous employment. The advantages attending the production of best work only are manifold. There is no opportunity for the work of inferior men to be utilised in the economy of the workshop, which is frequently the case when more than one class of weapon is produced.

The owner of a Boss & Co gun has the satisfaction of knowing that he has the best gun that money can buy, and that no one has a better gun. The Boss & Co gun has, therefore, always a standard value whether new or second hand. Our output is strictly limited according to the amount of first class labour available.”
