Jerry: are you thinking of Winchester? The first two orders of guns Winchester imported were made by C.G. Bonehill, and were in five grades from Match Gun down to D-quality. In 1882 a third order was acquired from Richard Redman. Winchester also imported guns from W.C. McAntree & Co. and W.&C. Scott & Sons.

Beautiful Parker D4 "Turkish" Bruce
Colt used high quality damascus from Plunger-Riga & Heuse-Riga Fils., Nessonvaux.
