Thank you but I suspect that is not our man.
The handwritten entry in the book quite clearly shows 'Mueller' and not Muller. The name originated in Bavaria, southern Germany which was a rifle producing region, as far as I know. Hence my assumption, and it is only that, we are looking for a German, Austrian or Swiss rifle maker, sufficiently good to produce state of the art o/u rifles (and shotguns) in around 1912.
The books actually say "Finished by ourselves pattern. Mueller" and show a bought-in cost of 17/10/0. So what we know is that a respected London gunmaker bought in either a whole gun or the principle parts thereof, finished to their high standards and sold it on.
Who were the quality rifle making firms of that region at that time? Anyone know?
Thanks
Tim
