Re: Pair of Rook Rifles

Sorry I cannot copy Flickr

Many owners and dealers think the buffing wheel is the answer to surface pitting and loss of original finish

All of these sidelever Rook Rifles and .410 shotguns, whoever's name is on them - Purdey, H&H, WR, etc., were made in the Birmingham Trade with various standards of finish.
Whether the retailer even put their own name is arguable but some are finished to a good standard, especially the "higher quality" retailers
They are interesting in their own right and part of shooting history so enjoy them if they are yours enjoy them
