Lee; Sounds like you found a keeper. Rodda's are nice rifles. I have owned, at times, 4 of them. Still have one. Here is some info. to get started on; www.internetgunclub.com has a good bit of info. on Rodda. You will have to register, if you aren't already, to get the info. An ebay seller; cornell military pubs has a reprint of a 1929-30 Rodda catalog for $15.00 or so. I have seen a copy and there is not much new info. Lewis Drake has a Rodda catalog reprint for sale for $17 that is from the early 1900's. I have not seen this one, but a copy is on the way so whenever it shows up I'll let you know if there is anything new in it. You might also do a search on gunshop.com forums. a couple of years ago there was a long thread on Rodda, the surviving family and some good info. on who made some of their rifles. As far as shotguns go, I have never seen a double breechloader, just a SxS 14 bore muzzleloader from about 1855 or so. Good Luck Raff |
