Guns sold under other maker's name
09/01/07 08:10 PM

I'm starting another thread here. You may quess that this also relates to the 16-bore Rodda DR I've been asking questions about, but I'll take a fresh start on this topic, as it may be interesting also to those who do not bother to read the thread on the 16-bore any more.

It was a bit tricky for a non-native speaker to phrase the Subject, but what I mean with it is that I'm interested in the practise among the English gunmakers of the 1800s to have their guns made by manufacturers other than themselves.

It also seems hard to figure out good search terms on this issue. Thus the new thread.

Regarding RB Rodda, for example, I've found some sporadic information that at least some of their guns were actually made by Webley & Scott or Gogswell & Harrison.

The gist of my question is that I am trying to confirm or disprove a theory that this 16-bore Rodda that I have at hand was actually made by J. Purdey (!). I know that it sounds truly odd, but then on the other hand there are certain evindence supporting that and it also seems that there might have existed a link between the firms Rodda and Purdey.

I am eager to learn if any of you have ever heard that J.Purdey has made a single firearm to another name? Surely I'm also interested to hear what else you guys know in general about this practise between makers, be it related to Rodda or not.

Regards,
Saku
