Congratulation on the Hussey. Hussey sold his own guns. I once owned a Hussey Imperial, made around 1915. I sold it to a friend who later acquired the mate to put the pair back together. They are wonderful guns and have tried to buy my Hussey back from my friend who will not part with it. As far as I know records do not exist. In fact it is hard to date these guns. In the book Atkin Grant & Lang there is a section on Hussey guns. Cheers!

In 2016, Sportarm was trying to resurrect the Hussey name. According to this paragraph, Hussey, Sportarm has owned the name since 2008. I'm not sure if they have any records. Ken

I have a Hussey pair and have emailed Atkin, Grant and Lang as well as Sportarm. AGL returned my inquiry and stated they do not possess the Hussey records. Sportarm by return email stated: Dear Dale Thank you for your email, sadly Hussey production records were lost in a fire and so the information is patchy, if you let me know your serial number I will provide what information we have if that helps. Kindest Regards Kevin Phillips Sportarm LTD www.sportarm.com+44 (0) 1305 268001 Hope that helps and would certainly like to see photos of your gun. I have enjoyed my guns very much.

Fellows, When it comes in, I’ll post some pics( if I can figure how). Gun is 28” SPG, 6’14”, double Purdey underbolt , nitro proofed for 2.5” cases and still appears to be in proof, cased in Hussey O& L with all original accessories and has GP on initial plate and also GP Boston on exterior of case. I sure would like to know the history as it came to the dealer from the original family and had been used heavily. Thanks for all of your information. Sandlapper
