Dickson & Sons will no longer provide photocopies of ledger entries because of the fragile condition of the documents

If you have the serial number and it is in their ledgers they will give you the information verbally

Be aware there are serial, action and barrel numbers and some of the ledgers do not have all of them, but the serial number and the barrel number is sometimes the same (as in one of my A/Hs)

The serial number 5556 is probably 1883 but some of the numbers, especially the hammerless, can be some years apart
