I really enjoyed reading the Jim Corbett books so I wanted an affordable Indian gun. I read PeteM post in 2010 on the company. There isn't much more info out there. I found a postcard showing their shop in Calcutta. Does anyone else have any info on Lyon & Lyon or which Birmingham shop would have made it? https://imgur.com/a/FJRityO

I think a subscription is required, but their data base is full of thousands of names and their history. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PqK3UImDCrsOrk6O_2DsovHXvaNSzliSiwaP35Y6PMk/edit?tab=t.0
