Does anyone have any info on H CLARK & SONS shotguns? I am looking at a 12 bore that looks nice other than what seems like a small piece of inlay that has fallen off on the forend nearest the forend iron.

Thanks

There was Henry Clark(e) in Leicester, England from the 1800s'until mid 1950s'.

I honestly couldn't say but I'm sure that one of the more knowledgeable on here could give an opinion. Overall condition may be the best indicator. Grade of gun too, not forgetting there are lower grade guns out there that are still performing as well as the day they were sold. Not a very good answer on reflection really. I'll have a look through some books later see what turns up. It'd be nice to find out if they bought guns in or assembled and finished them, or possibly both, then it'd be down to which type the one you're looking at is.
I hate to ask as I'm hopeless with computers, but do you have any pictures ?

Rust never sleeps !

once had an h clarke of leicester 12 ga sxs ...it was a decent light weight, well balanced, typical english box lock. keep your load light and around one ounce, as they were not made to shoot our heavy 1 1/8 ounce field loads.

keep it simple and keep it safe...
