My Dad just gave me his set of two Charles Bosworth 12 ga side by side shotguns.  #1 & #2.  Serial #s 14209 & 14210.  Tag on case shows hand written 6-33-14 & 6-33-15

Top of rib says: Charles Boswell.Maker.126 Strand London WC

28" barrels with Made of Sir Joseph Whitworth's Fluid Compressed Steel

Other barrel engravings: .729' NP  2 3/4  3 1/4 Tons

Would love to know when they were made and any other pertinent info.

Thanks,  John

I said previously that you were a very lucky man, but now having seen the photos of that beautiful pair of best Boswell sidelocks, I now regard you as the luckiest man on this forum. Those guns look absolutely pristine and have clearly been cherished. I trust that they will be used and similarly looked after whilst in your possession.

Many thanks for posting the photos.

Thanks for all the nice comments.  Now I know how lucky that I am to have been chosen the keeper of these beauties.  They are original unrestored.  And yes, they will be my go to pair for dove hunting season this year and beyond.  Taking them to the skeet range this weekend.
