The information on this page is correct in some ways. Not so correct in others. At least according to the information I've uncovered. First:
A&D markings were part of the license agreement. They may have been applied to rough frames sent over from Westleys.
Some early guns were probably sent over from Westleys in a semi-finished state. Later guns were said to be made up entirely on the 2nd floor of H&R. However, they may still have been made up from rough frames/barrels imported from UK.
The estimated number of H&R doubles is less than 3000. Probably closer to 2000-2500. Still, no real records exist to prove precise numbers.
Again, much more information coming up in my book...
