Very nice and worth breaking your rule. I find it interseting how these outside hammer ,Jones lever based guns are so similar, from the top end London makers, like yours, to my gun just a Birmingham by a maker I've never seen before T.C. Martin, even the engraving, so similar and I think high grade, tight little scroll and such
These wonderful rifles do seem very similar in that they are of a very high quality, wonderfully engraved, and just look "right". Of course, many "gunmakers" didn't make all of their guns but did add their names to the guns they sold.
I have seen pictures of interesting guns by T.C. Martin. The pictures were likely in the DGJ. There were a number of very qualified Birmingham gun makers.
