Information I have lists Little and Son as Henry Charles Little 14, Silver Street, Yeovil, Somerset. Listed as H.C.Little 1880 to 1897 then as H.C.Little & Son until 1940 It then appears that the business was bought out by A.R. & H.V.Jeffery Ltd. who then used that address for a while along with their other business in Plymouth, Devon.

It looks to be equal to G.E. Lewis. About $1000+100 for extractor and $200-$300 for selective automatic ejectors. Nice game gun.

Been away so apologies for delay. IGC has not much more on HC Little, but I thought I would post it here for any future searches:

Name Henry C Little
Other Names H C Little & Son
Address1 14 Silver Street
City/Town Yeovil
County Somerset
Country United Kingdom
Trade Gunmakers
Dates 1885?-1966?

Notes

Henry Charles Little was recorded at 14 Silver Street, Yeovil, Somerset, from the mid-1880s until about 1900 when the firm changed its name to H C Little & Son. Henry Little died in 1924 and presumably the son took over the business. The firm was not recorded after 1940 but in 1966 A R & H V Jeffery bought the business.

Other Info
The firm sold cartridges under the names "The Blackmoor Vale" and The Sparkford Vale".
