Joe, now got the address; many thanks and I will try to download it. Forend catch is the same. At the moment I only have the forend and the struck up barrels which are off to Birmingham tomorrow. Stock and action are with the Gunsmith who I am going to B'ham with having a bit put on for length. If lucky I should have the barrels back in a couple of weeks and can then get it re-assmbled and tried out.

Does yours also have a sort of plate held by a couple of screws on the top of the action? I can't photograph mine to show what I mean at the moment. I would think the dating right. All I can say is that mine has post 1896 proof marks and the address on the rib was only used until 1900. As with a lot of these guns they would have had barrelled actions in stock waiting to be finished when a customer ordered it. When I bought it it had been in the same family since new but he had no-one to pass it on to that was remotely interested in it and so it came onto the market. No original paperwork exsisted. Lagopus.....

This is a copy of a PM which I've just sent to the opening poster. Should it be of any interest to others, please do respond.
I bought my gun at auction, and as I collect Single Triggers, it's why I bought it - - it's too nice to scrap, just for the trigger system!! ��.

I've just found your post on the Double Gun Shop- from YEARS ago!! I also have a B/L gun by Maleham, and as yours - the same bolstered action body and the same ejector system - the same forend release - but mine has a Boss Single Trigger - and it works well!

My gun is No:1803. The forend flat states Patent 9677.88 150 - I've tried to research this but it only shows something related to medals!
1803 has exceptionally good barrels with the rib reading Arthur Turner (Late Maleham & Co.) 5 West Bar Sheffield.

The ejectors on my gun are very weak - they resemble Boss ejectors, in that they're under pressure from coiled springs, and as Boss, it could be loosely claimed that they assist with opening.
