I suspect this is a long shot, but I wanted to write in hopes that someone can help with identification of my family heirloom. I have a 12g C. Boswell that has the 126 Strand address stamped on it. It's serial number 12440. I am hoping someone might have the records of when this gun was produced and whom it was sold to. I have already heard back from Mr. Chris Batha who has stated his records do not go back this far. So far I can estimate that it is circa 1890-1898. Its a Damascus box lock likely low-mid grade. Cosmetically, its 10%, but mechanically sound (Barrels at 30 thousandths), have fired in excess of 100 rounds of modern pheasant loads.

Thank you for your time gentlemen,

Mark
