ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIND WILLIAM POWELL SERIAL NUMBERS?
Google William Powell & Sons Gunmakers, click on the link and ask them direct.
Page 127 of Nigel Brown's book, British Gunmakers-Vol. Two. Let me know if you need a specific number looked up.
Same can lookup sling the serial
Leighton, the book lists serial no.s 14,733-14958 from 1945-1950. Not much was made during those years.
Thanks a lot, I was guessing in the 1930's.
I sent a note to them with photos of the beautiful gun Mr. Lomas allowed me to take custody of and they returned a photocopy of their original (handwritten, obviously) order from August 15, 1885.
