Thanks, guys. Sorry for the typo on H & N, I knew better than that.
treb, thanks for the memory bump. My best wishes to Wayne. Hope he still has his Tony White guns. They were very nice, as I recall.
Interesting. Just amazing to me that there is still enough demand for high-end doubles that this many gunmakers can still "make it". It's encouraging.

KD Radcliffe and Son, Colchester, Leech and Son, Boreham, Gallyon, Cambridge Rosson, Norwich But I think I am getting into the realm of retailers of Birmingham guns with their names on, although they all have very competent gunsmiths on hand

An interesting musing.
Perhaps it would be more accurate and a little more enlightening to compose a list of gun makers who produced a gun in 2012 carrying their own name. Then list them in terms of:
Entirely made in the UK. (Westley Richards for example) Entirely made outside the UK. (William Powell for example) Partly made outside the UK and finished in the UK. (William Evans for example)
Of course, some makers would feature in more than one list (Purdey for example).
Just a thought.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Rosson Norwich has long gone having sold out to Gallyons.
W. Richards (Liverpool) now at Pocklington, Yorkshire. He can still make guns under the Williams & Powell name and also under the Horsley of York name. A lot of British Gunmaker's names are still owned by someone who it entitled to make guns under that name so it is a difficult list to compile. Lagopus.....

Hence my suggestion of listing who actually made a named gun this year - to give an accurate indication of active gunmakers.
Ownership of a name is merely that. Horsley is not a gunmaker anymore, as far as I am aware, but Boxall & Edmiston are gunmakers, despite not being a previously established 'name'.
