Does C. J. Kirby Ring a Bell
« on: February 20, 2019, 05:56:10 PM »
Hey y'all.  I have a very nicely done 10 ga fowling gun that I bought from Dixon's in PA a number of years ago.  The barrel is signed "C Kirby" and the lock plate is stamped "C.J. Kirby".  I would love to learn of Mr. Kirby.  The gun is very well made with simple but neatly done engravings and a bit of incised carving.  It MAY have begun life as a Chamber's kit.  It has a Chamber's round face lock and a 46" octagon to round, tapered barrel. 

So again, does anyone know Mr. Kirby?
