Fellows, I obtained a Boss 12 bore game gun S/N 72xx a year or so ago, and I have repeatedly emailed Boss on their website (3-4 times) requesting a factory letter, to no avail. No reply; dead silence. Are they still in business? Can anyone tell me how to get ahold of someone with that outfit that could help? Perhaps one of our British forum members could steer me in the right direction. Thanks, Sandlapper

I will be waiting to hear how this works out. I have in the past enquired about buying some accessories and they did respond one time, that was a while ago.
In the meantime tell us about your gun.

It is a pretty standard Boss game gun, built mid 1926, straight grip checkered butt , splinter forend, DT, standard frame( not rounded), 29" chopper lump Whitworth, very clean metal with 85% original case color and very sharp clean rose & scroll Sumner engraving, weight 6lbs. 10 ozs., smooth concave rib with 13 Dover St., Piccadilly address, 2 3/4" opened from 2 5/8" at some point, .732" bores, MWT .028": .029", and wood is close to, if not exhibition quality. Probably made for the American market as it ended up at A&F in 1931 and was sold secondhand to A. H. Scaife, who married into the Mellon family. His initials are on the shield. Anyway,a clean, unmessed with example, except for chambers.
