Jeffery rifle

I purchased a Jeffery rifle last year Nov. Wrote the Jeffery Co(Houston address)to find out the history on the rifle and never received a response. Does anyone have any clues on how to find out the history of my rifle?
I'm in the process of purchasing a Cogswell rifle and would also like to find out the history of my new rifle. Does anyone have an address to write for this purpose? Many thanks.

The secretary of the guy who owns the Jeffery records usually reply's once or twice a year to inquires.

Don't give up they'll get around to it.

You can email Paul Roberts at J. Roberts & Sons in the UK. They build the Jeffery rifles now and have all the old history of Jeffery rifles.

Actually the Jeffery records are in the possession of a man who owns several car dealerships in Houston Texas. He bought them several years ago. Any requests to Paul Roberts are forwarded on to Houston.

400 NitroExpress and I have been trying for 3 years to do some research with the records. So far all of our inquiries have been ignored.

With the records so close, it's frustrating!

Please to note that once again another page of Jeffery records shows Leonard actually made the rifles for Jeffery.
