I am trying to ascertain when the guns were manufactured. I have written and emailed John Roberts in London (who holds the records and name) but have never received an answer.




Kevin:

No, that's not quite true. J. Roberts & Son (Paul Roberts is the son and current chairman), former owners of John Rigby & Co, leased the right to the use of the W. J. Jeffery & Co. name in 2000. They don't have the records. The owner of the name and records is in Houston, Texas. The records can be accessed - the long way around the barn. Here's how it works. Send an email to J. Roberts & Son (I'd suggest directing it to John Resteghini), with your serial numbers and a short description, and request a copy of the ledger page for the guns. These requests are forwarded to the owner, who then processes them - twice a year. I don't remember if there is a charge for this service or, if so, how much. Ask John. You may need to provide a CC number. I have several Jeffery ledger copies obtained this way.

Hope this helps.
