Good morning experts!
I am sure many of you remember I am responsible for the Perrins Owners web site. As I am the first point of contact via e-mails I get all sorts of interesting thing popping up in my inbox. This one is somewhat outside my field of knowledge so I am looking for any information anyone can help with.
What we know.
It is by Geo Perrins of Port Elizabeth South Africa. We don't know of any connection between this retailer and the Perrins of Worcester/Windsor. Birmingham made gun of 1887 - 1896 with a 16 bore shotgun barrel.
What I don't know is anything about the rifled barrel. The sights go out to 700 yards.
So if any of you can shed light on it we would be most grateful - and of course if anyone has more information on Perrins of SA or if you have one, then I would love to here from you. You never know - perhaps there is need for a Perrins of SA owners club? I am not volunteering!!
