Re barrel blanks, here is a sentence from Chapter 35 - Reilly barrels:

"It is well known that after 1844 with the closure of the London barrel forger Fullerd, London barrel blanks came from Birmingham (and by 1890 from Liège). However, these were bored in London."

To go into this subject further would be extremely interesting. Perhaps that will be a next project.
