Guys,

I was visiting Safari Outfitters in Millbrook. They had a neat little English Sidelock Extractor.

What made it so interesting was that it had a Boss Single Selevtive Trigger with the selector on the right lock.

Anyone have any info on this Birmingham maker? And how unique is that Boss style selector?

As a matter of interest, there was also a James Burrow's in Preston, Lancashire.1817-1931. In 1917 the company became James Burrow Limited.At that time they were located at 177 Fishergate. I have a picture of a fine hammer gun by this maker.James Burrow the second, was a respected public figure and was thrice mayor of Preston.
