I'm pretty sure Cashmore built his guns, at least many of them. His letterhead says the firm was a manufacturer of guns and rifles. Kirkwood Bros. in Boston were agents for Cashmore. I have a nice BLE with barrel inscription Made For Kirkwood Bros and having Cashmore's name too. Cashmores were used by Annie Oakley and Thomas Marshall, the2-time winner of the Grand American Handicap in 1897 and 1899. For his second win, Cashmore presented him with a fancy Nitro model. These guns sold for 45-50 pounds in 1900. William Cashmore was still alive and signing his correspodence in 1900.
