I know that members on this website have a fantastic range of interest and I now realise weapons included!
For some years I have been trying to find information regarding:-

Thomas Turner of Reading

They were gun makers, I understand, at the upper half of the market in the manufacture/assembly/modification of revolvers, rifles & guns.

I am particularly interested in the type of revolver they sold during the mid 1800's and on.

Part of their expertise was tuning Enfield's & Martini Henry's for range work etc. I believe they had a London shop at one time.

There was a company under that name, in trade up to a couple of years ago but I do not believe they had any connection with the Thomas Turner of the 1800's.

There must be information out there somewhere but I cannot find it!

I almost have the impression that all info regarding revolvers in the UK on the web have been deleted!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

And please do not try parking it on your wife's best sideboard as tank track marks are very difficult to remove from polished surfaces.
