R.B. Rodda - Shotguns?
08/03/06 01:37 PM

I recently purchased a Rodda boxlock 450/400 3" and have been trying to research it. I have picked up some info on this site and a few others and realize Rodda was a retailer, kind of like Army&Navy, and all their guns were subbed out, mostly to the Birmingham Trade. One source alluded to the fact that Rodda did only rifles and not shotguns, Is this true? It would seem hard to believe that anyone who retailed guns for as many years as them, would not have sold shotguns. I frequent many of the sites of sellers of used English shotguns and cannot remember ever seeing a Rodda shotgun. I would like to purchase one to pair with my rifle. Can anyone shed any light on this subject? Also, does anyone know any books or other sources of info about Rodda? Also, how would I identify who made my rifle? By what the proof book says, I believe that it was made between 1904-25. It has a Greener-style crossbolt, 24" barrels with Birmingham proofs and are also marked on the underside with J.A in a circle and H.R out to the side. Were these the men who struck or fitted the barrels? This is a good solid working gun with border engraving, it shoots 400 gr. Woodleighs with R-15 well. I am curious as how to identify the maker and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Lee.
