Robert Hughes and Sons Makers London

Here are some pictures of my Robert Hughes SXS 500 EX (3 inch) rifle. It has Henry rifling, the barrels are 26 inches long and it weighs a trim 9 lb. and 4 oz. I was amazed at how slim and trim and balanced it feels in my hands. Those English makers sure knew their stuff! Here is what I have found out about Hughes, and if this info is correct, that makes this gun a very LATE period BPE rifle made after 1897. If anyone has any other info on Hughes or pictures of his rifles (or other products) I would appreciate it if you could share it with me, just PM me with the info. THANK YOU, ED

UNIVERSAL FIRE ARMS WORKS / ROBERT HUGHES / BIRM. Robert Hughes was a successful Birmingham gun & rifle maker who operated at 22 Moland Street from 1855-1870 and who moved to 100 Moland Street in 1870, operating there as Ammunition, Barrel, Furniture & Implement maker until 1905, with the company becoming Robert Hughes & Sons in 1897.
