Here is Bret's Scott 10 bore: Of interest: The letter refers to the Scott moveable lump patent of 1870. The patent stamped on the Lump though is "CSA, Nov 1, 1873, Patent."









And here is the letter Bret referred to: What's perhaps is most interesting is the sentence in the letter: "For 14 years from the date of Purdey's patent, Scott (as others) paid a royalty to purdey for each gun." So if Scott was paying Purdey, Purdey must have likewise been paying Scott for his spindle? Is there a Scott patent number on Purdey guns during this period?
