Records show that in 1881 Monk applied for a patent for breeching single and double shotguns. I can find no record that this patent was granted.
Henry Monk was granted patent # 1677 in 1890, covering crimping or turning over the edges of a cartridge/ Monk's made a wide variety of cartridges including, The Imperial, Pegamoid and The Royal.
I have seen several double guns bearing the Monk name all of which were of Birmingham Origin.
