Thomas Wild - Gunsmith.

[Potshot Pete]

I've recently acquired a T Wild shotgun and would like to know its
history, but google seems not to be *my* friend.
I remember reading (on here?) that the Thomas Wild's records still exist
and that copies of original the invoices, specs, etc for his guns are
available from <waves hands> somewhere.

Would be grateful for a pointers (though I do favour springer spaniels)-
Ta.

It does help - thanks!

Where have all the posters gone? Is there a web forum somewhere?

There used to be some old-hands here who knew lots about game shooting.
If I find somewhere as good as this group was, I'll give you a shout.

I have a Thomas Wild magazine, with descriptions of various guns, possibly
produced in the 1930s and in excellent condition

If you're interested in selling the magazine, I would be interested in
buying it.
