I came across this gun and have been unable to find out anything about it. Anyone ever hear of them before? Thanks.

Nice looking gun. Have you tried a Google search of the maker?

Dean Romig 04-24-2012 09:43 PM

Ask about it over on gunshop.com

Lots of knowledgable folks over there.

Rick Losey 04-24-2012 09:44 PM

Proof marks? they could narrow down the location and even a time span.

Eric Estes 04-24-2012 10:02 PM

Yes I tried Google and came up empty. I have asked the owner for pics of the water table and barrel flats to see if proof or other marks there can shed some light. I will give it a try on the double gun forum. Thought I would give it a whirl here first. Thanks for the responses.

unless you know some one with a library of Geoffrey Boothroyd's books, as suggested, the doublegunshop folks are the next best place.


looks like a nice piece

By the looks of it I wouldn't be surprised if it was an American Maker along the lines of George T. Abbey Post it over on doublegunshop, as Dean & O.H. said. Perhaps Bill McPhail would recognize it. JMHO

Best Regards, George

Don't know the name right off-will look in my reference books tonight. Looks to be on
a Scott action. Pictures of the action and barrell would be very helpful as to origin.
Nice medium grade gun in good condition

Eric:
Just from the photos you have, I'd say the odds are it's a British gun. Or at least the bits came to the US from UK, and were finished up here. I can find no maker by that name in Boothroyd's directory -- or any of the Nigel Brown books. Thus, I think the "maker" was American, but got his components from Britain. The basic cut of the frame looks very much like it was made at W. & C. Scott.

Best, Kensal
