There is no doubdt that D.F.was one of the top gunmaker. I have speaked with people that think he was at the top three riflemaker. So I think that if you can get your hand on a D.F. you should grab it an sacrefiese your whole arm in the effort.

Daniel Fraser was mainly a riflemaker and was born 1845 and started his apprenice in 1859 at Alexander Henry. At the age of 21 he was set out to Turkish to introduse the A. henry guns taht the Sultan had orderd for the army. in 1878 he started on his own at 4 Leith Steret Edinburgh and every part of his gunmaking was done in his own factory. He actually was very eager about woodblanks for his guns and traveld himself to France to pick the blanks by him selv.
In a bird hunt in 1902 the weather was not that plesant and he got very wet. He got sick and died later that year only 57 years old. His sons did run the firm some years but in 1911 they closed the business.

In the 30 years that D.F. build guns he build about 3500 guns. 10% shotguns, 10% falling block rifles, 30 D.B.Rifles, and the rest was bolt action rifles. Roughly around 1000 Double Barreld Rifles are made with the Daniel Fraser Lable.

I hope this was a bit interesting for you fellas.
