Some time ago pictures and info was posted about a Boxlock S X S marked made by J Jos Simon for J H Cummins Santa Rosa CA SN 103. There appears to be a Birmingham proof mark and the barrels are Fluid Steel KR. The remainder of the Krupp is not visible. There are no other marking on the gun. We did learn Simon was a Gunsmith in CA in 1900 and Cummins listed himself as a "capitalist" and was living in Hawaii. Today I learned a little more.Had the gun in the shop due to left firing pin sticking in the primer. Gunsmith cleaned action and later told me the firing pin was integral with the hammer. Does this point to an English action or a European action? Anyone have any ideas?
PS I am a lousy photographer and too dumb to learn how to post pictures.
