Old Farmer, Based on the research carried out by Colin Greenwood,[See his book, Classic British Rook and Rabbit Rifles] the most likely source for rook rifles with side lever action and octagonal barrel was; Richard Ellis,13 St Mary,s Row,Birmingham, 1879-1920. Richard Ellis was purchased by Webley and Scott, Circa 1920.Webley and Scott also produced rook rifles with side lever opening,From their wholesale catalogue it can be seen that they featured a round barrel.
