I have a centerfire gun made about 1869 and is signed Joseph Brazier, Ashes all over, including JB on the extractor. Jones underlever. Signed Thomas Johnson, Swaffham, Norfolk on the rib. It is number three of a three gun set. I am convinced Brazier made either all of the gun or all the metal work. I have seen ads listing him as a gunmaker. IMO he did not continue with this venture long.
