Feltwad Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Has a matter of interest are there any readers who have or shoot a hammer gun or percussion gun made by Joseph Teasdale or his sons who were in business in Durham City from 1815 to 1896. A gun by Teasdale is not often mentioned or seen but it would be interesting to see if any are still in use . Feltwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
