Hi
Hi Frenando, in the link you posted (thank you) Mc Dermot is spelled with one and two t's in the article itself, ??
The one or two T's seems to be flexible
They seem to be sold (or marketed) now as an Irish maker with either one or two T but this is probably just because the Irish guns sell for more.
Do you agree though on it being Mc Dermot? ie the expert opinion of my wife!
With the Irish registration on the barrel I am happy to add to my collection anyway and when i purchased it there was nothing at all to be seen on the lockplate so any maker is good for me.
I well hopefully doing the brazing job tonight to start the job on the replacing the hammer.
I will take some photos to show how the work progresses and how i approach the missing hammer problem that i so often encounter.
Regards
Ken
