W J Jeffery records etc.

Good afternoon all,

Does anyone have information about the W J Jeffery records? I was interested in knowing about serial number 16444, a boxlock double in .450 No. 2. Thanks,

Try speaking to Paul Roberts; he had sole manufacturing rights (from 2000-2010) for WJ Jeffery & Co:

Email or PM me. I have the info you seek. The records are in Texas and I went through all of them researching my .600 book.
16462 was completed May 30, 1906. Yours is close.

The Jeffery records are owned by Friedkin, the guy who owns Gulf States Toyota. The records are kept at his ranch house. I have tried to gain access to the records for research, but haven't had any luck.
