Guest augustus_01 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Greetings from Texas! My great uncle has a rifle that I'm trying to help him find some information about. The barrel is marked with "C.H. Maleham, West Bar Sheffield". From my research, I've determined that they were a shotgun manufacturer, but I cannot find any information on rifles. Maybe someone across the pond could help me out. I've attached three pictures, hopefully they can help. Thanks in advance! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
