The maker confirms that the guns were built in 1920 for Major G Greaves with 30-inch barrels and 15 1/2-inch stocks. The guns remain to this specification today and appear unaltered from new. They are formerly the property of Paul Channon, the former Conservative MP and later Baron Kelvedon.
Henry Paul Guinness Channon was born in 1935 and educated at Eton. He was still an undergraduate at Oxford when he was elected as MP for Southend West in January 1959. The seat had family connections as his grandfather, Rupert Guinness, became MP here in 1918. The seat was subsequently held by his grandmother and then his father until his death in 1958. Channon held various ministerial positions over the years, including Secretary of State for Transport, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and MInister of State for the Arts. He retired from Parliament in 1997, was created a life peer as Baron Kelvedon and died in 2007.

The maker confirms that the guns were built circa 1935 with 27-inch barrels. Relatively few guns were built by Boss incorporating their full self-opening system between 1935 and 1940. Pairs are especially rare. The guns were returned to Boss & Co. in 1994 and two pairs of additional 27-inch barrels were made for each gun. The original barrels, which were worn and damaged, were recently sleeved to 29-inches by Bill Blacker and the work is of the highest standard. Please note that the 29-inch barrels no longer fit in to the case.
