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.

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!
