This shotgun was featured in the September/October 1999 issue of the SHOOTING SPORTSMAN on page 49 in John Ian Gregson's article "Mr. Champion's Atkin". The makers have kindly confirmed that the gun was completed in 1936 and ordered for a Mr. Champion. Records also show that this particular gun was the only over and under ever made by Henry Atkin. Other than an improved ejector system, the gun is totally based on the Woodward OU. So much so that a serious conflict ensued between Mr. Woodward and a Mr. Hill. This Mr. Hill, while under Woodward' s employ, had designed the Woodward OU but afterwards claimed it as his own . An interesting part of English gun development and history. $45,000 |
