Re: Old Double barrel serial number 3843
Hi Brad, J D Dougall was a famous maker and this looks like one of his Lockfast guns. As such it is important and may be valuable. He was appointed gunmaker to the Prince of Wales (later George VII) and the Duke of Edinburgh (Albert – Queen Victoria’s husband). You really should join as a member of ...

Re: A Allan of Glasgow
I was intrigued to read a note which you had placed in the archived forum some time ago about Arthur Allan and the Allan family of Gunsmiths, in response to an earlier enquiry.
