Mr. Hallquist, that is great info and many thanks for the effort. I wonder if Robert Edward Couchman was their retained counselor although in 1878 he is listed as a Surveyor with Couchman, Willmont & Counchman if he is one in the same? Any guess if Robert Edward Couchman was the Licensor or were there multiple in Birmingham as well as some in other gunmaking centers. Ok, who has H.A. Lindner's quaterly sheets; maybe Mr. John Mann?

Kind Regards,

Raimey
