One of the men who taught me my trade At W&S and whom I later worked with for a couple of years in Birmingham . Bren Kelly ,who's father Jack and uncle Tommy had worked as jobbers within the Midland Gun factory working on guns for Midland as well as for themselves . Bren told me they one of the things they specialised in was "single Anson's"as they were know in the Birmingham trade up until and just after WW2.

I have looked for years for a light single with safety. A couple of years ago, I found a high condition Model 11 or 12 Francotte with 32" solid rib barrel and a safety. Unfortunately, the safety slide is missing as are the internal parts. Bob Beach from Griffin and Howe helped me identify the grade, but there is no provenance for my serial number. The gun is in very high condition and now has a fresh Silver pad. The gun is very light like most singles, but has all the features of a high grade gun.
