Has anyone out there any information on a gun dealer by the name of Perrins & Burke of Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa
We know they were in business around 1907 – 1908.
We are particularly interested to know if the ‘Perrins’ of the partnership is a relative of the Perrins gun makers of Worcester or Windsor. It is possible he is a son or grandson of one of these makers.
My interest is that we have a Perrins Owners Club and we know of guns from this firm in South Africa, so it is not beyond the realms of possibilities that a son moved out there to continue the business in fresh fields.
The Perrins owners club web site is
http://www.perrins-gunmaker-of-worcester.org.uk/ and I can be contacted directly through the link or by PM or on this forum.
Look forward to hearing from anyone with information.
