Has anyone any info. on Ebrall Bros. (likely Birminham mfg)? This is an SxS rifle in 450 Express?, load is 120 BP & a 270 gr bullet. Is there an equivalent smokeless type powder load one could try? Haven't seen the rifle yet so have no further details at this time. Thank you for any replies / info. --- John Can.

I high-graded this off the net, do a google!
Name Samuel Ebrall
Other Names Ebrall Brothers
Address 1 4 Wyle Cop
Address 2 6 High Street
Address 3 Smithfield Road
City/Town Shrewsbury
County Shropshire
Country United Kingdom
Trade Gunmaker
Dates 1843-1891
Notes
In 1843 Samuel Ebrall purchased the business of William Horton of 4 Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury.
In 1845 he moved to 6 High Street, and in 1853 to Smithfield Road.
He was an exhibitor at the Great Exhibition in 1851, and he won a first class prize medal at the 1862 exhibition and was appointed gunmaker to Queen Victoria.
In about 1888 Samuel retired or died and the firm was taken over by his sons, the name became Ebrall Brothers.
The firm traded until at least 1891, a firm of the same name trades to date. (Apparently this data is over three years old)
Samuel was the father of Richard Holland Ebrall of Hereford.
