I have acquired an “Alex Henry & Co” 12 bore sidelock double that was rebarreled apparently some time after 1965 by Benjamin Wild & Son at Price St., Birmingham.
The Wild barrel number is #6524 which is numbered to the gun.
I have read that Benjamin Wild & Son has ceased business, I wonder if the records are available to check the barrel number to find when the work was done?

Re: Benjamin Wild barrels
Colin Wild took over the business in 1964 and moved the firm to 55-56 Price Street, they then moved to Unit F/F1 New Buildings, 63 Price Street, Birmingham B4 6JZ. I am sure they closed soon after but I have a telephone number 0121 3592303. Someone trading at New Buildings may be able to help you.
