Greg,

In 'Cogswell & Harrison:Two Centuries of Gunmaking' it says:

"In 1949 the Avant Tout series reappears in the form of the Konor (Avant Tout I), Sandhurst (Avant Tout II) and Rex (Avant Tout III)." ....... "The series was overhauled in the 1960s when the Konor and Rex were discontinued and replaced with the Blagdon ... which was no longer listed in the 1973 catalogue. The Konor survives the misfortune of the Blagdon box lock but has vanished by the 1978 catalogue.

Comment: that doesn't seem to make sense. If the Konor was replaced by the Blagdon, how can it have survived?

"The Konor was offered at 40 Guineas (42 British Pounds)."

Hope this helps.
