J.Price of Folkestone, Kent. 1869-1920

[Lord Roxdale 0]

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has owned or does currently own a gun (any gun) by an English retailer called John Price, or J.Price of Folkestone Kent, I have all his two address details and start of business dates...
But I'd really like to see more of his guns, which I suspect were either made by Midland gun company or J.W.Tolley, or some other Birmingham maker. I've only ever seen one hammer gun by him with a jones under lever to it, with Stanton and co locks possibly mid 1880's with two stubbs barrels.
Would like to see photos of any guns by him, please get in touch if you can help?
Regards
R.

Good luck in your quest.  I've never heard of them, but Back when;   there were loads of local ironmongers/gunsmiths who sold guns with their name on them but these guns were generally bought in from the Birmingham trade and sometimes just sold through or finished locally. It's like when I was a kid every town and most villages had an ironmongers shop and that's where you went to buy them. No one bought more than a couple of boxes max. And no one wasted cartridges on clays.  Can't eat clays. it was a case of Fourk handles and a box of Eley Grand Prix #6  1-1/16 oz
