Bonehill catered to the mid-to-low end of the gun market. His were some of the first English guns to rely heavily on machine manufacture of the basic bits. But according to Bonehill, "the last stroke of the file" was still handled by a fellow at the bench.
Good guns generally, and a bit higher finished than a comparable grade Parker or Smith. And fear not. A Bonehill box lock is as reliable as any other.
