I visited them in 1972 returning from Rhodesia and spent a morning at the shop. My understanding was that they are an "outfitter" and don't manufacture anything. I was looking to buy a Merkel 303 sidelock and they had several on display. When they realized that I was really going to buy one they took me into the basement where there were a lot (mabee 300+) Merkel shotguns unopened in cardboard boxes and we went through the 303's till I found one I liked. They were very kind even offered to take me to a range to shoot it but I didn't have time. Got home and made arrangements for a dealer to import it and they sent it along. I'll bet the gun you are looking at is either a Simpson or a Merkel, either is first rate. JH
