It is my understanding there are no records existent for any of the Cashmore guns. He did send a lot overseas, mainly to Australia where he also had an office or retail outlet. Cashmores are noted to be very well built and highly thought of. I own a delightful side lock 16 by Cashmore with Whitworth barrels made sometime in the eartly 1900’s. While sans any engraving it exhibits the highest degree of craftsmanship in all respects. Though built in Birmingham it is on the London pattern, stocked to the fences and with the Anson forend release. It also has a hidden third fastener. Weighs less than 6 pounds with the 28” tubes. I hope you enjoy yours. Bits of information about Cashmore guns can be found on the web.

I have not been able to ascertain if Cashmore had a factory or was like most “names” in Birmingham, being a general contractor and utilizing the many out workers available in Birmingham.
