Dear Raimey,

Thank you for your info about Daly. Do you think there was a sourcing transition period from E. Thomas "building" the 1871 patent Abbey and Foster guns to Donn and Daly?

My interest at this point is narrowed to the original G. T. Abbey Patents in the US and the UK, and the guns that were made by those such as Kilby in Birmingham for Abbey's retail store in Chicago.

It is curious that G.T. Abbey moved to Birmingham, England in 1869 and then returned to the USA to die in 1872. Was it possible he died whilst abroad?

Best regards,
Niemann
