Thanks CR, I have many old tools that i use. For cocking an Elsie i have a piece of 1/2 in hardened rod 2in long with a T handle on one end and a slot milled across the other end. Slot straddles the cocking rod, just give it a twist.

Who's grave?
Where is it?
From which Gun Maker's building is it visible?

J. Manton or H. Holland at Kensal Green, from H & H?

Very good Channing!: the Kensal Green cemetery is indeed visible from the H&H factory-so who's grave is THIS one?

In my experience, a midsize Crescent wrench will cock a LC Smith at the cocking rod on the front of the frame very easily and reliably without damage. I shot a bunch of shells this way prior to fitting a forend.

Well, Mr. Trevallion was a Purdey man wasnt he? Im going to guess the stone belongs to Manton then, not Mr. Holland. Then again, I could be completely wrong. How about multiple choice next time rev?

Must be dear ol' Frederick Beesley's grave - the poor sod gave-up too much to the Purdeys...and now look where he rests!
His bones must have a chill in 'em.

You fellas are too smart to need multiple choice! Joseph Manton it is...er...was...and apparently the grave has been cleaned up since this pic. CC should comment shortly.
