All the best!

I've only got one English gun at the present---a 12-ga. John Blanch & Son sidelever back-action hammergun with 30" damascus bbls. I would like to find another English gun...a dainty .410 toplever back-action hammergun with steel bbls and a London address....any leads would be appreciated!

Thanks for the link Greg, but I'm holding out for one with at least 28" tubes.

T Wild BLNE 12g game gun
Holloway & Co 12g Pidgeon gun
G E Lewis 20g BLNE Game gun
The GE Lewis is pretty much a wall hanger the barrels are way out of proof and overall it is quite rough
the others are still OK and get used

Greg, I daren't list them in case the wife sees this page!
Bamboozler, you may find a .410 with a London address but a pound to a pinch of muck it will have been made in Birmingham. Lagopus.....
