I just bought a James Lang pigeon gun that was built in 1891, and on the barrel flats there is a trade mark I've never seen- its crossed hammer guns with "trade" on one side and "mark" on the other, right where the guns cross. I have a pic, but still can't get them to load now that photobucket went to poop. Any ideas? I was thinking perhaps the barrel makers mark, similar to Sir Joseph Whitworth's wheat sheaf.

It's on a best grade James Lang hammer pigeon gun finished in 1891. Perhaps the gun was sourced in the white from BSA?

CC,

Did AG&L say the order books listed the gun as a best grade? Please post a picture.
