Lawrence P. Shelton published a book; J.P.Clabrough & Bros in 1978.The book provides a great deal of information on Clabrough and also Golcher. Included in the book are copies of Clabrough Catalogues. In the past I have owned a number of Clabrough guns of various grades. I can confirm that they did indeed produce a best quality gun. The example that I owned was #5510 a very fine 12G bar action hammer gun with game scene engraving.The engraving was on a par with best guns of the day. A feature found on Clabrough,s best guns is a clover leaf top rib extension.I have only seen one other Clabrough gun of the same quality, it also had the clover leaf rib extension.
