Fellows:

I am trying to obtain a profile of an older English maker of SxS shotguns and rifles.

They sold their creations under the name of "Lawn & Alder".

I have tried some of the other web sites but no joy. I will be happy to follow up any clues you boys can provide me.

Thanks.

I thought I remembered seeing a listing for them somewhere, but no joy.

London firm. The guns come up from time to time. From what I can see in handling them, I believe this firm was probably a retailer of guns and rifles bought in from the trade. Most of the L & A rifles I've handled have been from Charles Osborne, Birmingham.

Wish I could help more.

"Serious rifles have two barrels, everything else just burns gunpowder."

Where I do not recall, but I read a "history" on the firm, a couple of long paragraphs, and they were a retailer as 400NE relates, again, as I recall. (Not that that is bad.)

I will try to figure out where I read of them.

Most likely Double Gun Journal!

Laddies:

For those chaps which may have had an interest in my quiry regarding Lawn & Alder, I beieve that I have put a cap on my question.

Lawn & Alder was a gun SHOP selling guns on it's own label but manufactured within the trade.

I believe that the double rifle I am dealing on was made by the firm of Chales Osborne, a Birmingham maker which had a large market in South Africa and India. The firm terminated its business in 1928 or 1930.

My Rifle is marked Lawn and Alder. Per George
Caswell he's convinced it was built by C.O.
