Very unusual side by side shotgun made in London, England circa 1910 by Joseph Lang and Sons. Gun was specially made for a left handed shooter with the opening lever opening the gun when pushed left instead of right, triggers made for left handed shooter, and cast for left handed shooter. Interesting gun. Gun has blued 25" fluid steel, 12 gauge, 2 -1/2" chambered, barrels fit with ejectors, bead front sight, narrow raised matted rib, and fixed full and modified chokes. Case hardened sidelock action with light floral border engraving and locks marked "JOSEPH LANG & SON" with double triggers and automatic safety. Walnut English grip style checkered stock with checkered wood butt, German silver vanity shield, and matching walnut splinter checkered forearm with diamond inlay and push button release. Comes in Winchester leather covered trunk case. CONDITION: 95% barrel blue with 40% fading case colors. Wood has traces of original varnish with added well fitted buttstock extension which clearly doesn't match grain pattern. Good bores and mechanics. Gun has been taken care of with light handling and usage marks. Case is in excellent condition. DLM
