Please correct me if I am wrong, if memory serves me, I believe that the Colt shotguns were actually made for a period of years by the English firm of C.G. Bonehill of Birmingham to Colt's specifications and exported into the U.S.

That isn't mentioned in any Colt doubles article I've ever read from Wallace Labisky's in the June 1966 issue of Shooting Times onward.
A fairly early Colt flyer on their hammerless double --

Colt Doubles flyer, pg 2.jpg
and a page from the 1900 J. H. Johnston catalog about the time they were being closed out --

Beautiful gun Bruce and great coincidence.
