Nope, Harwood had the 20 gauge Konor, and Doug has the 16 gauge Extra Quality Victor.

I think that Terry is correct with his example of a Victor boxlock. Around the turn of the century the Victor could be either a boxlock or a sidelock. Note page 65, plate 7, in the Cogswell and Harrison book. It shows a fine cased Cogswell described as "An Extra Quality Victor 12-bore BLE with ornamental sideplates, Avant Tout ejectors and assisted opening mechanism. No. 27,251, it was completed in May 1901."

Hi Daryl, I suspect the term may have been used for both sidelocks and boxlocks during that period at the turn of the century, but later used only for sidelocks, as a much higher percentage of what we see do seem to be sidelocks....
I thought I had some pics of the example I had but they seem to have evaporated...
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.

Hi all, I just want to thank each and everyone of you for all the great responses, answers and knowledge you provided on this maker and his guns.
The one thing I love about this forum is you always learn and expand your knowledge on all aspects of the double gun. What I really like is you don't get any smart a** comments when you ask a question or make a comment.
Again, one big thanks!!
All the best!

Greg, see my earlier post on English gunmakers.
There are still literally hundreds out there waiting to be carressed by enthusiasts like us.

sv That Konor went from Harwood to Brown (very briefly), then back to Cabela's--not as a result of any problem with the gun. I think it may still be in their system. Doug let Harwood shoot that Victor, and Larry's still trying to find a good reason not to buy it! Nice gun.
