From post #316972 I can see that my gun probably would have been made between 1838, when Wm. Moore and Wm. Harris formed a partnership at 35 Loveday St., London, (now Loveday Rd. if it really is in London but if it is really Loveday St. then it might be in Birmingham, England, NW of London ??)then in 1840 moved across the street to 36 Loveday St, and 1845 when Wm. Harris stopped trading in his own name.
Street view by Google is here:

Or here if it is in Birmingham:

Anyone have any more info?
Is there a reference book from which the info in post 316972 was obtained? Any records as to who was the first purchaser of this gun or when, other than the 7 year period I mentioned? TIA
