DR makers - similar names?
      11/08/09 02:07 PM

As many of us know, the new John Rigby & Co (London) Ltd have started up shop and are starting to showcase their fine looking shotguns, soon double rifles, and M98 bolt actions.

There however is considerable debate on the web regarding the Californian "Rigby" having a similar name.

Now thinking about it, many gun makers in the UK actually traded with similar names. I believe there were two "Hollis's" - "I. Hollis" and "A. Hollis". Also two "Jeffery's" - "W. Jeffery" and "W.J. Jeffery".

Is this correct?

What other similar marks were being sold?

The Hollis example might be quite applicable to the current "Rigby" duo ie widely differing quality standards.
