I think these are interesting guns, I have a Barratt and Sons boxlock, it was made under this lifter patent. The use # is 2951, I understand that this maker made several of these or at least 2, as this gun is the #2 gun of a pair. It was originally had Birmingham proofs but has been reproofed and carries London 1 1/8 nitro proofs. Sadly some idiot has refinished the wood with shiny varnish and has a poor recheckering job. Someday I will get around to redoing it.
