Tim CarneyNeed copy of a Butch Searcy Trade Label
Grateful for a pix of a B. Searcy & Co. trade label. Please post here or by private message.
Am doing up an aftermarket case for my Searcy left hand double rifle in .375 H&H flanged magnum.
Regards,
Tim
Tim, I don't have a good photo of one but he actually had two different labels. One Black and Gold and the other one white.

This ad on Guns International has a good photo of the black leather label with his Boron, CA address:

I think Boron was his last address??

That's the address of the big aluminum (Quonset hut type) shop. Butch lived in the yellow house next to it. TMT Road is short for Twenty Mule Team Road.
Butch also owned the "Astro Burger" at Kramer Junction, (The intersection of Hwy 58 and CA395)
He used to always say that the hamburger restaurant made him more money than the rifle business.

470EDDYTim,
I think Tony Galazan at Connecticut Shotgun has these leather labels made for various British makers?? With a photo he may be able to produce one for you, or send you to his maker?
