Remington40x:

I was trying to differentiate between I. Hollis & A.B. Hollis first & foremost. I would guess the "BlW&Co" to be maker/contractor who either made the double or furnished it in the white. Apparently in addition to the "Acme" there was also a "Victory" and other names can be found here: http://www.firearmsmuseum.org.au/ColonialGunsmiths/WebPropGuns.htm .

And if you have some time, you might want to peruse thru the listings at this site: http://www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cibmanuals/files/TIME/HTML/gunmakecodes.htm
Kind Regards,
