A friend has a John Ross marked sle. It is of the quality in fit and finish equal to my Purdey. Some time ago I tried to search about John Ross, and possibly I remember that there were two gun fellows with that name.

From Internet Gun Club======
In 1890 he registered three patents Nos. 1955, 14886 and 19395. The first patent covered an ejector mechanism which was cocked when the gun was opened. A T shaped lever positioned on its side in the fore-end and pivoted transversely had a friction reducing roller on its downward leg which rode over a cam on the knuckle. This raised the forward limb which engaged with and compressed the ejector spring. The third limb was the extractor cam. No know examples exist. Both patents detailed two ejector mechanisms and a number of tripping mechanisms.
