I see on Sportarm's web site they now own the Hussey name(Ithought Atkin Grant & Lang owned it).
HJ HUSSEY

4TH NOVEMBER 2016 0 COMMENT(S)
Sportarm have owned HJ Hussey since 2008 with the intention of reproducing and manufacturing the highly regarded Imperial Sidelock model, which was considered by many to be equal in quality to the best London makers.
In 2015 we searched the industry looking for the best craftsman to commission and start production of the first six new Imperial’s. With actions cast the traditional way and barrels bored and struck by hand the completed guns will be in a class of there own, properly air dried and time served well seasoned walnut, rich in colour and grain has been selected to adorn and balance these fine models.
These are exciting times as the launch date becomes ever closer.
Another reason for developing and reintroducing the HJ Hussey brand is to produce a range of clothing, labelled leather goods and accessories, our thought process has always and make a better product than is already available, small tweaks in design can make a huge difference to the user. A full range is available to view at our Dorchester shop.

Interesting. Does Sportarm have the Hussey records?

Yes apparently they do.

They have been threatening to produce new Hussey guns for some time. Perhaps they are waiting for orders!

Tim

I don't see the point of this exercise.

I have always wanted a matched pair of Husseys

I know the next resurrection will be the well known firm of Alfred Hollis.

Twins.....??....

It does not hurt to have another six fine doubles made but not going to change anything that much. From the article it seems like they are more interested in the accessories as the guns. Most likely more money in that area to be made.

Tim:

Have you contacted sportarm and asked about access to the records?

I knew quite a few Husseys in my youth. I wish I knew more now.

Just emailed Sportarm and will share any responses.

I recently bought an Imperial Ejector for around 6K. The gun is sleeved, but still you couldn't make a new equivalent gun for anywhere close to that.

Thanks for sharing a photo. Thats certainly a beautiful gun and you are correct about duplication cost! I have a pair of the Imperial Ejectors that look very much the same. What is your gun's number?

S/N deleted. It's a game gun FYI.

Yes sir, as are mine. Hopefully, Sportarm has the records so we can learn more about our guns.

Were they brazen husseys ?

Nice gun. I have always enjoyed the Hussey "house" engraving style. Apparently Hussey was a bit of a charlatan businessman, but he certainly could make a nice gun.

An Ejector Hussey doesn't sound all that desirable.

Have two; one sleeved with a butt transplant and 30" barrels, the other intact as original with 28" barrels. Engraving on both is wonderful and they handle beautifully afield. Best part: I'm not afraid to take either into the grouse woods.

Just received a reply from Sportarm and yes, they are in possession of some of the Hussey records and would be happy to look up my guns. So, good news for Hussey owners.

Also heard from them yesterday and 12 bore guns are going to be produced.
I just hope they stay true to what HJ would be proud of. But as I have seen Sportarm does nothing but first class
