Thank you very much.

Now a question: how does a gun built in the 1870s or 1880s end up with the name of a firm that ceased trading under that name in the 1840s? I could understand if only the rib had the name, as they might be reused. But the action is engraved as well.

Or is this just another British gun making mystery, the answer to which is lost in the mists of time?
