Any ideas about my Clabrough and Johnstone? It states a London made gun, but I understand they were marketed under the same name as a retail shop in San Francisco California about 1890-1900.




I've handled a number, but none from a trade maker that I could identify.

Boxlock or sidelock? If boxlock, count on it being from Birmingham. Sidelock could be either.

What about the proof marks? If Birmingham, then it was built there. If London - you wouldn't believe how many Birmingham guns were proved in London. For example, I've never seen a Webley built double rifle that wasn't proved in London, even those that Webley retailed themselves. It was just part of the subterfuge.
