According to Ron Collings Ken Was apprenticed at Webley and Scott, before Ron's time. An Avid motorcyclist he rode a 1000cc Vincent to Work at W&S. Ron and him shared a yard in Price St and usually took lunch breaks together. Ron stated he was considered one of, if not the best stocker in England. He was noted for the style of his drop points. Regarding the source for the action I respectfully disagree that it was of W&S 700 heritage. The top lever spindle is to far back and lacks the "C" nut for a 700. It looks more to me like Greener lever work typically found on B'ham trade actions as made up by John Asbury and others. Many G.E.Lewis guns feature this action.
