A small point on engravers of this period, Harry Kell, Soho address, London engraver, engraved many "Brum" guns in the Rose & Scroll used on the London Guns & Double Rifles. Doug Tate gave me that Info' when MMcI and Self wrote the artical on the Fred Scales gun.(Now has the 'Last Chapter in Vic Ventors,'Gun-Craft'Book. One of the best books of the current crop. CC/dt
XC, have you an estimate on turn time for such engraving by Kell? I seem to have "learned" somewhere that London engravers did the Boss house pattern in about three days. True or unlikely?
