Sorry 1914 not 1814!

Hi all. I appreciate your input. I'm getting a copy of George Armstrong's will (1814?) And this will show if there was any formal connection to Armstrong & Co other than importing the shotguns to the Cape Colony. If there is anything interesting I will post it here. Regards Trevor Armstrong

I am seeking history of the shotgun maker George Armstrong & Co of Newcastle which ceased production in about 1915. My great grandfather George John Taylor Armstrong of Cradock South Africa passed down a double barreled George Armstrong & Co shotgun engraved 'George Armstrong & Co Cradock No. 715' , see attached photos. We believe my great grandfather, who died in 1914, had a branch in Port Elizabeth and Cradock and was involved with the Newcastle operations. Any further information would be appreciated.
