Oberndorf,

Pape did manufacture shotguns from scratch, for many years, he had his own workshops in Newcastle upon Tyne in Collingwood Street, his retailing Shop was in Westgate Road, some 250 yards away. If you can let me have the serial number (by PM if you wish) I should be able to give you a year of manufacture or sale.
Birmingham was the nearest Proof House to Newcastle upon Tyne so it was logical that Papes guns were sent there for proofing.
