Huvius - The gun industry in the UK was primarily based in Birmingham and most "makers" were either assemblers or even retailers who bought in lock, stock and barrel, or even complete guns/rifles to assemble or even just have their name put on them.

This was certainly the case in the percussion and the flintlock era as well as the cartridge arms

All military firearms were assembled from authorised subcontractors (J Brazier et al. for the best locks), Deakin and many others for barrels, many stockmakers] by government contractors

Some companies, and Hollis particularly, made most of their own arms completely, although when Hollis built/developed their large factory I am not sure

Your Pape rifle is very nice but I am a little confused. The pics of the top of the Rodda rifle has much Nepali? script - is the that the Vintagearms Rodda?

Do you, or Vintagearms mind if I post the pics on British Militaria Forums to see if I can get more information?
