Bernizan Firearms Co. rifle. England SxS, caliber 28 (#17-03-03-96)

The Bernizan Firearms side-by-side shotgun is a refined and elegant example of English gunsmithing, fully embodying all the traditional technical and aesthetic elements. This model represents a classic double-barreled shotgun with horizontally arranged barrels and a dual-trigger mechanism. The automatic safety engages upon closing the barrel, preventing accidental discharge. The wooden stock is made from premium-grade walnut and coated with high-quality lacquer, which enhances the original wood grain. The receiver and trigger guard are decorated with a delicate floral motif, highlighting the value of this pre-owned shotgun and reflecting traditional scroll engraving. Thanks to its 28-gauge configuration, the shotgun is noticeably lighter compared to 12- and 20-gauge models. Its optimal balance allows for comfortable shoulder alignment, excellent handling, and quick target acquisition. This particular smoothbore firearm is a perfect choice for collectors seeking to own a piece of gunmaking heritage steeped in history.
