Normally, Blanch guns are very hard to date because of a German bomb through the roof of the business in 1940 that destroyed their records. There is an online Blanch database now (maintained by Toby Barclay @ Heritage Firearms), and using that, in combination with proof marks and patent-use numbers, you can at-least extrapolate a period of production for most Blanch guns (excepting yours). Per your description of her a "class gun", Edward Paddison at Boss agreed strongly with you and built Perke's Patent guns for a long period before John Robertson took over in 1891. You probably already know this, but Perke's guns are easy to operate because they only cock one hammer upon opening and then the second on closing. Another tidbit: the closest Blanch serial number to 5519 (that I could find) was 5517, which is a sidelever hammergun. Your gun is a very early hammerless action (perhaps the earliest of its type?) built when hammerguns were still very much mainstream. A period-correct English Best in every way. I'm pleased to know that she went to a good home. Thanks Lloyd for all the additional info. About all I learned about this gun was from the J. Blanch web site you mentioned. Most other sources didn't provide much info. Thanks again, and rest assured that I'll take good care of her! Best! Greg Gregory J. Westberg MSG, USA Ret

I was able to limit and Jim had a respectable two bird day. Duchess worked well as ever and made a nice water retrieve. I was using my 16ga Arrieta 871 (hard to see but the engraving is in the Boss style): Jim with his birds, he was his 12ga Victor Sarasqueta 3EC: Jim, Duchess and the days bag: Best! Greg Gregory J.

I shot clays with it, and it worked great. Friday was it's first real field test. You see the results. terc

Duchess has had more than a few birds shot over her! Saturday, we took advantage of the colder weather (37 degress) and ran the dogs on wild bobwhites at our lease in GA. We picked up a couple big coveys. The season is not yet in so no birds were taken. Spent the afternoon on a 30 acre peanut field that was LOADED with dove. I would guess there were 700+. Got my limit in short order. Used my Miroku KE-II 12ga. I shot B&P Competition One shells and loved them. My bird dog. No "gun with game" pics as I donated my bag to the evening meal before I had a chance to shoot a pic. But they were delish! Adam
