I inquired directly to the gunmaker:

to me, Arthur
Dear Mr Kasterin,
I hope this email finds you well, thank you for your enquiry. I would be glad to provide you with a full history on this gun, there is however a fee of 50 + VAT for this service. This includes details such as the original purchaser and the date of manufacture. If you would like to go ahead with this please kindly forward your postal address for the invoice. If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Jaine

The fee was 50 GBP several years ago when I inquired. Roy Liu was the gun-room manager then. For that fee, they sent me a copy of the 1860 build sheet on a Boss gun I once owned. That document sent me on a merry trail from the original owner on through Brit royalty with connections to the Queen herself...Geo
jOe is still jealous.

He's not the only one. Sometimes I just use a stick that fell out of a tree to stake my tomaters. ________________________ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

If your gun was ordered thru the U.S. importer in the 20th century, Griffin & Howe can furnish some records. http://griffinhowe.com/researchyourfirearm/

Kennedy, or wrestling partners with Martin Luther King, or being an Award Winning Winemaker, or diving 20,000 Leagues under the sea to rescue a Sterlingworth... not even close.

I will say it wasn't me. I'm certain it wasn't you jOe, but I think it could be any one of four or five suspects. Likely a team effort. For some reason, the word "weird" comes to mind. She's baaaack!
