Stephen Grant & Sons, established in 1867, became renowned for crafting elegant and finely balanced shotguns, favored by British royalty and nobility. Known for their distinctive side-by-side designs and exceptional craftsmanship, the company quickly earned a prestigious reputation in the London gun trade. In the late 19th century, Stephen Grant shotguns were considered among the finest in the world, often characterized by their beautiful engraving and attention to detail. The company eventually merged with Joseph Lang & Son in the 20th century, but the Grant name continues to be revered for its contributions to fine gunmaking.
