Recently, I purchased this double rifle at auction in Canada; the link below gives a description of the same rifle when it was sold in 2012 by Holt's: https://auctions.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/searchresults.asp?sale_no=A1062&st=D&pg=12 (see Lot 926) Somehow, the rifle made its way to Canada, and I have become the latest custodian. It is engraved 'R T Pritchard' on locks and barrel, but the case label is marked 'R T Pritchett'. There is no maker's name inside the locks, but they are very much like the fine Brazier locks on a similar Alexander Henry rifle. I know that 'R T Pritchett' made guns and was an accomplished artist, but has anyone come across other guns by 'R T Pritchard', or could confirm that 'Pritchard' and 'Pritchett' were one and the same? |
