In 1986 I visited the Ford shop. At that time they were located at; 352 Mosley Road Birmingham. The Managing Director was A D Thornton. The purpose of my visit was to research a Ford shotgun, made circa 1923 and replacement barrels that they had made for a Charles Lancaster O/U/ shotgun. I was shown their sales ledger entry my gun it gave complete details of the gun and the name of the original owner. I was well received and given a photo copy of the entry for my gun. It would seem the record book has gone astray in that Sir Malcom dose not have them!
As a matter of interest the company letter head reads ,incorporating James Carr.
