Carr Brothers were also makers to the gun trade so turned out quite a number of guns but not that many with their actual name on. Information I have is Carr Bros. Cloth Hall St. Huddersfield, Yorkshire c.1878 4, Cloth Hall St. c1883 to c1897 Chancery Lane c1901 3a Market St. c1905 to c1913. I was once told that some of their Trade made guns had a serial number preceded by the letter 'C'. Lagopus…..

The 1Ľ oz proof usually indicates chambers of 2 3/4". The 12/C does not indicate an exact length of the chamber. 12/LC mark indicates a chamber length of "Over" 3". That said, guns with 3" chambers exist both with & without the LC mark. I believe these marks would indicate manufacture between 1887 & 1904
