Allen & Hille New Orleans
« on: September 17, 2015, 11:00:24 PM »
Does anyone have any information on Allen & Hille . Were they located anywhere other than New Orleans. I found them listed there in 1853.  They made or handled (?) all types of guns. I found where they made custom pistols. Nothing said about other type guns.... Louie

In the 1853 Directory they were located at 89 Magazine St., New Orleans.

Allen (Joseph) & Hille (Charles) 1842-1859  as per American society of arms collectors.  They also say
Allen. Joseph 1838-1861 in the big easy.  Also Hille was only in N.O. during the period of their partnership.

 This is a related question about obscure New Orleans makers. Does anyone have any info. on,  "Cambell Stryker and Company, New Orleans." That is the mark on a pistol I recently saw.

Thanks ,
