alan123shooting Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi Dave, your going to have a hard job to find originals in good condition, if you do, you will pay a lot of money for them. Fine sporting antiques has a tatty Chas Lancaster and it is £90. I take it you want them for gun cases or are you going to make copies? . I renovate old gun cases and it is nice if you can have originals but you cannot always get them. Have you tried Peter Dyson? they do very good repro which with a bit of work can be aged, instant coffee powder works well. Original labels are rare and are getting rarer i’m afraid but best of luck with your quest. Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 If you find s Charles from the same era then let me know as I’m also ‘casually’ looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Give demonwol444 a message - made me some a while back that were outstanding - no way you would not think they were over 100 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Woodward repro label but wanted to try for an original. I have bought them in the past and know you have to pay but in the scheme of things it seems the right thing to do with these old guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
