My circa 1905 W. Richards 16 BLE has the 44 Fishergate Preston address on the tubes. It is also No.1 of presumably a pair. Fit and finish are what I would associate with better-than-average. Perhaps not "best", but not far from it. Weight and balance are primarily what drove me to pony-up the cash for it and I haven't regretted it yet.
JP Clabrough might very well have made it, as it reminds me of other Clabrough guns I have seen. In about two-weeks, I hope to hear it singing again. Doing what it does best...
Yet another day like this one would be nice.
