I recently purchased a George Bate 12b. The trade label is very faded. but the address is 132 Steelhouse Lane, Birmingham. I have been unabe to find out any information about the firm. From the view mark on the barrel flat the date of maufacture is 1937 and the firm was established in 1850. Any info you might have on the firm and a pic of the trade lable would be greatly appreciated.
