STEPHEN GRANT & SONS
A 12-BORE SINGLE TRIGGER SIDE LEVER EJECTOR GUN, NO. 6613
30-inch replacement barrels by B. Kelly, Gunmaker, Birmingham, with 2 1/2-inch chambers about improved cylinder and 1/2 choke borings, the original 30-inch barrels now sleeved with 2 1/2-inch chambers, about improved cylinder and 1/4 choke borings, the frame, locks and side lever with fine scroll engraving, Boss patent single trigger, 14 1/4-inch well figured stock including 1/4-inch extension, 6lb. 10oz., nitro proof, maker's leather case
The maker confirms that the gun was built in 1894. Stephen Grant originally worked for Boss & Co. and the inclusion in this gun both of the Robertson 1888 patent ejector and later Boss 1905 improved single trigger show the close working relationship that these two firms maintained.
