Provenance: The makers have kindly confirmed that gun No. 23017 was completed on the 4th October 1902 as a 12-bore Royal hammerless 'AB' ejector gun with 30in. barrels and a 'special rib' for 'P.B. Hatt'.
Gun No. 23122 was ordered by 'Duncan' but then sold to 'Copeman' as a 12-bore Royal hammerless 'AB' ejector gun, with 30in. barrels. There is an additional note from the factory regarding the regulation of the gun with 2 3/4in. barrels (presumably the replacements) on the 18th July 1966.
