I used to shop at Tisdale in Christchurch mainly for trout supplies. Acquired a few Suhl prewar guns over there. I have several Scott Premiere Hammergun bintage mid 70s that I cherish and hunt with but to keep with fashion had a London address but made I am sure in Birmingham was where they were made. I will enjoy my Tisdale even more that I am getting a feel for the gritty Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of American.

Normax, do you live in Christchurch? If so my heart goes out to you for the tragedy. So senseless. And that city is about the last place on earth I’d expect something like this.

Oh, Scott maintained a retail store in London thereby justifying the London address and I believe most, if not all, Premier guns were so labeled.

I get as much pleasure from my Plain Jane 1913 A&N 12 as any of my guns.

I would recommend buying Doug Tate's book, Birmingham Gunmakers Lots of very useful info and you will likely learn a great deal. Maybe read it before you go shopping?

Suggest you read Dig Haddoke's boxlock book. It really has the answers.

I do note the poster who started this thread " Specifically" stated he wanted a "Scalloped" BLE. So far everyone seems to have shown him a Flat Back A&D which is not what he stated he was looking for.

Or a Scalloped BLE, but you are right, hammers and damascus was the first option!

RAR;
Here's what the poster stated;
"I'd like a tidy hammer with Damascus or a BLE scalloped with ejectors".
These are the two options he stated, he does not necessarily say one has preference over the other. He just says he wants one or the other.
He has now purchased other option or not. a Back action hammer, don't know if he still wants the other option or not.
A Flat Back boxlock was not even on his options list, thus my comment.
