The late Geoffrey Boothroyd reviewed the business of the Weston family of gun makers in an article published in the British magazine ,"Shooting Times" Jan 14-20 1988.The founder of the business is given as; William Weston,6 Royal Colonnade,Brighton.
Brighton appears to be the primary location of the business.There is confusion as to the business address as it varies from label to label.The most prevalent address is given as: Charles and Herbert Weston 7, New Road,Brighton,[circa 1921]. According to Boothroyd the business closed in 1971.
Boothroyd pictures a Weston back action sidelock marked, patent #6692[Could be the gun number?].The gun features top lever cocking, no record of a patent filing has been found.
As stated by Lapogus, Weston likely purchased guns from Birmingham, My sole example was a rook rifle engraved,"Made by W.W.Greener for C.& H. Weston."
