Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The C.G. Bonehill side-by-side hammer shotgun is a classic example of late 19th- to early 20th-century British sporting gun craftsmanship, reflecting the traditional design aesthetics and mechanical ingenuity of Birmingham’s prolific gun trade. Founded in the mid-1800s, C.G. Bonehill was known for producing a wide spectrum of firearms, from utilitarian trade guns to finely finished sporting arms, and their side-by-side hammer shotguns embody the hallmark traits of this era. Built on exposed hammer, sidelock or bar-action locks, these shotguns typically feature damascus or early fluid steel barrels joined by a solid rib, double triggers, and a top-lever or underlever break-open action with rebounding hammers for safety. The actions are often adorned with tasteful scroll engraving, while the stocks are fashioned from English walnut with hand-cut checkering, providing a secure grip and elegant appearance. Their balance and relatively light weight made them ideal for upland game shooting, and the use of external hammers offered shooters a tactile and visual assurance of the gun’s cocked or uncocked state, a desirable safety feature for the period. Historically, C.G. Bonehill hammer shotguns hold a meaningful place in the evolution of British sporting arms, representing a transitional phase between percussion muzzleloaders and the modern hammerless boxlock and sidelock breechloaders that would later dominate the market. Bonehill’s firm was innovative for its time, introducing interchangeable barrel sets and investing in mechanized production methods that allowed them to produce reliable yet affordable sporting guns for the growing Victorian and Edwardian shooting classes. Surviving Bonehill hammer guns are now prized by collectors and enthusiasts as tangible links to the golden age of British game shooting, particularly when they retain their original damascus barrels and period case-hardening colors. While not as lavishly embellished as best-grade London guns, they are appreciated for their sturdy construction, smooth handling, and understated craftsmanship. When properly maintained and used with appropriate low-pressure loads, these shotguns can still perform admirably in the field today, embodying the timeless appeal and functional artistry of traditional British gunmaking.
