old'un Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) You cannot buy spares as such, if there is something broken on/in the gun it will have to-be hand/machine made and fitted by a gun smith.

figgy Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Try Atkin Grant and Lang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) I believe that the serial number would be between 1950 and 1955. The official business name then was Stephen Grant and Joseph Lang Ltd and (according to the book "Atkin, Grant & Lang" by Don Masters), a common series of numbers was used by all of the 'names in the group' at that period. If it is a boxlock, it is very likely to have been made in Birmingham by one of the trade makers there. If it is a sidelock, it may have been made 'in-house'. In either case, any true gunsmith/gunmaker should be able to help you. Gun shops will only send any work on to a trade gunsmith as most do not have a resident gunsmith. Atkin Grant and Lang are (as has been said) still in business, owned I believe by Francis Lovel & Co and are located in St Albans. Francis Lovel have a shop near Newbury. https://www.agl-uk.com/ Edited October 15, 2019 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) What parts do you need/want ? There is a strong probability it was made by Webley and Scott as many of the guns of Atkin , Grant , Lang , Lancaster and Evans were .
