I'd be interested to know the source of your information, jack. Over the years, C&H produced a wide range of firearms, from London Best guns like the Extra Quality Victors, and bespoke SLEs and Avant Tout boxlocks, to plain jane Moorgreys, rifles and even (gulp) Sten guns - but I don't believe they were particularly known for 'keeper' guns or exports to the Empire, as were Army & Navy and some of the Brummie gunmakers.
