Hi Guys, A few years ago I had the opportunity to buy a 450/400 double. It was exactly the same as a Jeffery number 3 grade in the 1930s catalogue, which is the boxlock model often engraved with stalking tigers with no side panels on the wood in back of the frame. This one had border scroll and was inscribed "Wilkinson." My guess is that it is the famous sword maker, which possibly had an order from a customer for a rifle and obtained one from Leonard, the Birmingham firm that made so many of the Jeffery rifles. But perhaps I am mistaken and Wilkinson actually was a maker. Has anyone heard of another rifle or shotgun from this London company? It certainly was a fine double. Thanks, Blue Devil |
