This Boss & Co over-under shotgun comes from one of the most celebrated English gunmaking houses, credited with perfecting the over-under shotgun action in the early twentieth century through a design patented in 1909 that achieved exceptional simplicity and reliability compared to earlier stacked-barrel configurations. Each Boss shotgun is built to bespoke order, with actions hand-filed and fitted by individual craftsmen and stocks shaped precisely to the dimensions of the commissioning client, a tradition of made-to-measure English gunmaking that has changed little since the firm's nineteenth-century founding. Manufactured in 1972, this 12-gauge example dates from a period when Boss continued producing guns in extremely limited numbers using the same hand-fitting methods established by its founders, even as mass-produced shotguns dominated the broader market. Boss & Co's over-under design directly influenced subsequent best-quality gunmakers, cementing the firm's reputation at the pinnacle of English shotgun craftsmanship.
