The British Ordnance Company Over/Under: Celtic Steel & English Form…
At once ancient and modern, this British Ordnance Company 12-gauge bears the lines of a London Best and the soul of a Celtic stone carving. It is not merely an over/under—it is an expression of identity, an heirloom by design, and a study in restraint and exuberance held in perfect tension. A modern gun with classic roots, this example—engraved by the famed Bonsi Brothers—stands apart not only for its execution but for what it represents: the rebirth of English form, the ambition of modern craftsmanship, and the unapologetic beauty of steel transformed by hand.
It’s part of a quiet renaissance: a wave of contemporary gunmakers refusing to choose between tradition and technology, national heritage and international execution. This 12-gauge doesn’t just follow that movement—it helps define it.
