I had the opportunity to look up John Lyell this morning. It appears he was in Aberdeen that is in Scotland for anyone that doesnt know!!!! at the following dates.
1831. 1835. 126 Union Street
1835. 1837. 130 Union Street
1837. 1841. 123 Union Street
1841. 1865. 124 Union Street
1865. 1879. 128 Union Street
John Lyell was first listed in 1831 where he was described as Registered grate and stove maker, this changed in 1832 and the description changed to Registered grate, stove and gun maker
Not sure therefore if he bought the gun in and sold it under his name or if he made it to someone elses design.
