Re: Jeffery Farquharson Serial Numbers

The Gibbs patent expired in 1889 and after the expiration date, Francotte (and its subcontractors) built slightly modified Farquharson type actions which were sold to the English trade, including Jeffery.
It is possible that A10ACN's rifle was built around or shortly after 1889 and then rebarreled by Jeffery in 1896 or later.
