Brent, can we see pictures of your Cashmore? A friend has a couple of unusual Cashmores and is interested in those pigeon guns. Certainly. They are not so unusual, however. I think I know the pigeon guns you are referring to, and I have momentarily forgotten their name. Very striking and different. This is actually a Christchurch gun and quite plain. But it is very well made and fits me well. I also like the hammer design/layout. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/TSLVB40.jpg) This is the Paragon with a nice hidden third fastener ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/hcWwz33.jpg) What does the screw on the side of the forearm do?
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

There is one on each side. They anchor the ejectors in place in the forearm. This was my first ejector gun, and I also did not know what they were initially. Not all ejector guns have such a screw, but many do.

Looking back I have seen a lot of Scottish makers and they all seem to be finished to a high standard. Some have been driven hard and are well worn but they all have quality builds. Pity so few are as nice as the round action and better yet the side lever round actions. One of those is coming up in the next Holt's auction. 20 bore with I think a 3-5,000 estimate which if sound as it looks will top 10,000 I expect.

My friend does not own a Nitro, but does own a couple of unusual Cashmores.

I have always thought one gun maker who could be classed as as the largest ghost gunmaker of the British Victorian era who deserves a lot of credit is this one. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yswQOx3.gif) His locks and actions can be found on many top London and provincial manufacturers. so his name can appear on all of the Major gun parts, barrels actions and locks only having the so called maker of the gun name displayed on the top rub or the lock plates of the gun. I have a "Adams" hammer gun with his name on the outside and Brazier's name on everything but the stock. I feel that Brazier was content to play second fiddle as long as the was making a comfortable living ghost working.
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

I have a 10 Gauge Tipping & Lawdon hammergun that is very nice. Pics in the New Toy thread a few weeks ago. Not English but I seem to have a thing for Henri Pieper or Bayard (same thing sort of) hammer guns, they are becoming an accumulation if not a collection

Better picture of my Rosson. Rosson had a specific patent issued for a self opening mechanism, applicable to boxlocks and sidelocks, if I am not mistaken. Is this one of those? Best, Ted

Brazier’s name can be found on many guns. I have a Needham needlefire bolt action double that is marked with Brazier on the interior. Also, had a John Dickson hammer gun that was a conversion and marked Brazier Patent. That gun is shown in the Dickson book.

This is not one of the Rosson self-openers.
