In my personal opinion the largest unseen hand in the gun manufacturing business through a lot of the Victorian era and part of the first quarter of the nineteenth centaury was the Brazier family from the Wolverhampton area. Who made locks and actions for many of the top line London makers also a lot of the better quality provincial makers, and not all the parts they supplied had the Brazier name or initials on them. And of course a company of the same name are still into supplying gun parts to the trade today.

The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
