DH-

What's the gun? Is it a Daly?

I think this is the patent:
Abbey & Foster breech-loading, top-fastening shotgun, patent of April 25, 1871, No. 114,081

Any idea if it was ever patented in the UK?

BTW:

I did some searching and found myself a ways down on this page:

https://www.germanhuntingguns.com/archives/archive-lindner/

It mentions that in The Gun and its Developement Greener wrote about how Rigby revived the Abbey breech-loader patent for Rigby hammerless guns.


Also, looks like all this has already been discussed here:
