To those of you that may be interested, a few days ago I read in the shooting gazette an article concerning John Blanch & Son now being under new ownership, upon delving further and having looked at their website www.jblanchandson.co.uk I found out they were only based about 20 miles from where I live and owning a Blanch sidelock myself decided to pay them a visit, they've got a nice selection of second hand English guns and are apparently building new guns to order. Thought I'd share it as its nice to see another London gunmaker continuing in business.
