C.G. Bonehill SxS shotguns are high-quality, double-barreled shotguns made by the English gunmaker Christopher George Bonehill.

Please refer to the photos as there is a great deal of wear throughout this shotgun's metal and wood surfaces. The barrels are in poor condition – The Left external hammer is missing – The extractor is missing from the barrel – There are two cracks seen on the under/side of the tang – The forend is cracked and there is evidence of repairs. Please see the photos to assess the condition of the shotgun for yourself. This would make a fine wall-hanger piece as we do not recommend it being fired until it has been seen by a Gunsmith and has been thoroughly inspected and repaired.
