Malin, Charles Boswell, England, Spain, North Carolina, Canada, Ronnie Roberts, Sold USA, are all connections. I think the guns started life in Spain. Unfortunately, I don't have a Malin file. I appraised a high grade Malin smallbore once that was in a group of guns that included a very well done counterfeit Purdey pigeon gun and an AHE Parker 20-28 gauge set that was put together from parts. The little Parker was later sold as original to a serious Parker collector for a baggo money. Although the Malin was an impressive little gun, the group of guns was the scariest little collection I have ever seen. The owner thought he had four or five of the greatest guns in the country and he paid for them accordingly. The Malin was the only gun in the group that was as represented. Well, kind of. It had more Boswell markings than Malin markings. Fortunately, my friend Joe knows a good gun when he sees it.
