Some of the article seems to stem from the book 'Gallyon. Gunmakers of East Anglia' by Richard Gallyon. They took over C.S.Rosson of Norwich. Charles Stanley Rosson was the elder son of Charles Rosson of Derby. I have a particular interest in Derby Gunmakers and am searching for an example of a Rosson gun with this action type. I think very few must have been made. Ver useful photograph and patent drawings. Many thanks. Lagopus.....

Les Paul in Canada had a really nice example of a Rosson easy opener for sale a couple years back. Admittedly I’ve seen many more “Smith” actions than I have the Rosson. I really like them both. Very interesting and cool actions.

Thank you for the information. I don`t have this book. It will be necessary to fill the gap

No self-or assisted opener though.

The article contains a photo of such shotgun from Steve Barnett (Lord rest his soul)
