A tough one. I've researched the name as well. "Saxton" appears to be a "Trade Name", used by an importer. I haven't been able to determine which one. The name is found on both Birmingham and Belgian guns. It's similar to other trade names like 'F A Loomis", etc, which were mid grade pre-1890 hammerguns made by someone in Birmingham. I can't remember right off the year guns were required to have country of origin stamped on'em, yours was obviously made after that date. If it was (probably) made "in the trade" you wouldn't necessarily know who made the gun even if it had a recognizable name on it, as that firm may have simply sourced it from "the trade". Nice thing is that the standards were fairly comparable for equivalent grade guns. What are the barrels, fluid steel or pattern-welded? They don't look right, possibly severely buffed or sanded?
