Re: Forgotten and lesser known best gun makers

Mehul

Last time I visited P. Orr and Son in "Anna Salai" they were selling junk watches and other trinkets. When I asked the staff about their gun retailing days, all I got was blank looks! Now they have closed down forever???

Very sad! Now all you can find in a Gun House in Madras is an assortment of air pistols and rifles!

P. Orr & son did retail guns signed by them. The only example I have a photo of is a plain finished .470 Nitro. Very reminiscent of a Wilkes ? Here is a photo.



There is another poster on this forum that would probably kill for an Orr Nitro double??
