WJ Jeffery may not have been a true at the bench gunmaker, as J Purdey was, but what he did was similar to many of the gunmakers of that period, sourcing parts from the trade and overseeing their completion. Henry Holland was actually a tobaccanist to start. The ejector works on my Jeffery are by Westley Richards, although they aren't mentioned in the ledger pertaining to my gun. This practise has continued all these years, read about Bob Turner, David Dryhurst, guys that have made a few guns under their own name but have supplied guns or partially completed guns to the very best makers for the past 20 years
