The plot thickens. A 1902 00 12g with 'WR' ALSO has this mark on the left barrel

I'm not sure this pertains but I own a William Cashmore 16ga. sidelock fully engraved with dogs, birds and scroll. It has the Kirkwood Bros. name and Boston address atop the barrels.

Kirkwood advertised they imported Cashmores. Does this gun have
Cashmore written on the gun? Is It Proofed? serial #? Have a late sidelock
#1400 with "Kirkwood Boston" on locks and "Kirkwood Boston Mass"
on rib. Scroll engraved and Birmingham BBL proofs -no proofs on Action table. I wonder if mine is a Cashmore?

I duuno- he has a 180/180 or 100% positive feedback, but his Chink made scale is in Kilograms, not Lbs. OK for the European market, but here in the US of A we speak English and use pounds and ounces-Betcha that's a pretty husky 10 bore--fancy is as fancy does too!!

Am not quite sure of the WR mark mentioned above. I assume Rev is talking about a Westley Richards mark and source for a Kirkwood. In this relatively same period you can find guns marked WR from other American makers/importers. I have one from once Kirkwood connected Schaefer.

Sorry Daryl: Raimey, Ian, and I stumbled off into the 'who made these barrels?' game. 'WR' has been found on lots of c. 1900 lower grade both damascus and fluid steel Smith barrels, but we're still waiting for Dr Jim to confirm the serial number as having been ordered by William Read, Boston.
