I think this may have solved another mystery. Since it confirms the Folsom-Clabrough relationship, I suspect that Folsom may have sourced their FA Loomis (Birmingham guns) from them also.

Anyone have both a W Richards and a FA Loomis ad from the same time? Preferably pre-1890. I suspect the Loomis would be offered at a slightly lower price point.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
