The Sealer Special was probably made for some hardware company in your part of the world, King. Tobin made lots of guns for the trade. I've seen them with only the word Tournament on the foreward part of the sideplate. I've seen them marked Worthington or C.G. Worthington. Some were marketted thru AF&Co and are so marked. Ones that were shipped to Australia were marked W.E. Ekins, Adelaide, and others were marked Kitchener or Kitchener Special, capitalizing on some well known gent of the Empire.
My favorite Seal gun was used by an old Norsk halibut fisherman friend of our family out of Seattle in my youth. Andy kept a Wesley Richards double rifle in .32-40 in the wheelhouse of his boat to shoot Seals. Wish I knew what became of it.
