The Badminton was introduced as Holland & Holland's second-grade sidelock side-by-side, positioned below the Royal but above the Dominion boxlock. The action omits the Royal's self-opening feature and some hand-engraving, reducing price while retaining the essential mechanical qualities and chopper-lump barrels of a London best gun. Named after the Duke of Beaufort's estate where it was originally commissioned for field trials, the Badminton became a popular choice for sporting estates throughout the 20th century.
