bruno22rf Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 As above-just bought one but I am struggling to find out much about them-I know they were in Shrewsbury from 1900-1950 ish and in Brum before that-pretty sure they actually made guns in Brum but did they carry on in Shrewsbury or just put their mark on mass produced guns ? Any history or memories would be most welcome...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Boothroyd lists the as founded 1870 in Milk St .1900 High St until 1950's ceased trading 1960 . No mention of any Birmingham connection and no lists of any one in Birmingham of that name [not that his lists are fully comprehensive ]Not getting confused with Lightwood ?

bruno22rf Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thank you for looking,I really appreciate your help Gunman-the info that I have found (on double guns) states that the company were founded in Brum in 1850 ish and then moved to Shrewsbury (Milk street) in 1900 where they remained until 1950-the shop then moved to the High street until it closed in about 1960-Im going to search Ancestry .com to see what comes up.....
