Well, I just wondered what happened to the Woodward name as Purdey own it but they don't seem to be doing much with it and I wonder whether the classic Woodward designs are still in production even if they are in Purdey's name?

An Illustrious but new firm was Symes and Wright in Britain and they too collapsed recently.

Also a name that I had a mention of in a book on shotgunning in India is Caprinus Sweden. Another company that has closed down as far as I know. From Germany was the Collath company who even had their own system of measuring "guages" or bores for their shotguns and rifles...

I wonder how many more died overall and which ones are being resurrected. Fortunately, we have John Dickson, WW Greener, Atkin Grant and Lang, W J Jeffery, Webley and Scott (or another version of their name), Manton and Cogswell and Harrison among many companies who have been revived and deservedly. Any further information, please, friends?

Good hunting!
