Thanks, Birmingham proof and Nitro re-proof marks but no clue as to who made it for A&N.
Nice that it is still giving good service after 125 years.

mc,
Brazier were specialist lock and in this case action makers to the trade. Both they and Greener may have bought in the unmachined action forgings.
Do your guns have Greener’s elephant trade marks or WWG stamped under the barrels?
If so Greener’s probably barrelled , stocked and finished the actions supplied by Brazier.

Unmachined action forging would have the brazier name machined off i.ts marked under the bottom plate between the cocking levers .the two I have are 7 years apart 1879 and 1886 I will look at them and see what is on the barrels

This morning I had a hot bird on the other side of a river out of its banks flooding the swamp apron. He was about 75 yards across. After about 30 minutes of double and triple gobbling he flew the width, landed on my side and shook the woods with a "here I am" gobble. He worked his way into view alongside the near side's water's edge, 33 yards from me. 13/16 oz. of #10 TSs out of my Yildiz TK36 .410. Gil

Getting one to fly across a river is the greatest feat in turkey calling! Congrats Gil!
