Baldrick Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Best bet for anything like that is to email/call/write to Bill Harriman, c/o Shooting Times or c/o BASC. He's the expert who answers such queries about gunsmithing companies and records on the letters pages in Shooting Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Is there a website that I can fnd out about old gunmakers? In particular R Robinson of 7 Queen st Hull Robert Robinson was in business at 36 Queens street, 1888-9. He then moved to Paragon St. in 1892, and then to 7 Queen St. He traded as Robert Robinson (Gunmakers) from 1925. After the war they moved to 106 Boothferry rd. until 1950, when they moved to 265 Anlaby Rd. The firm apparently ceased to trade in 1955. The address would date your gun at between 1892 to 1918.

MC Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I knew Bob300W would be along on a thread about old gunsmiths, seeing as though he is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oi you, get back on the slug pellet thread, or else. You have already been threatened with being attacked by WMD's (Whinges of Mediocre Description) once today, don't make me angry, there are limits, I am dislexic therefore I can't ride a bike.

mattslaptop247 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks Bob, you must be a walking encyclopedia! I googled it and could only find 2 guns by them and they were both in America Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
