Gunsmiths that made Rods

[uniquafly]

I can’t out do any of the comments already made. Everyone has just about covered it. I will say that it’s a mighty fine display of historical information and artifacts. I love reading about the old master gunsmiths as well as rod and reel makers, innovators and genius craftsmen they all are. Thanks for posting the read, it’s great information. I enjoyed reading this! Who wouldn’t have loved for the chance to work with any of them, as I’m quite sure a lot of us here would.

Thanks again!

This doesn't exactly fit the OP's intent, but it probably belongs here. Many years ago, I was into collecting double barreled shotguns but never ran across, nor even heard of a Hardy Bros marked double even though I knew about the Hardy firm.

The first English double I owned was a 12bore A&D box lock made for the “trade” and labeled for Hardy Bros. It was traded in part for a Best grade side lock labeled for another fishing retailer which remained open in the same location for over 200 years until a fire in 2014. J. Braddell of Belfast. That’s going to my Son when he is of age.

Jerry is going to exhibit guns and tackle at a couple of upcoming shows in PA. Some mentioned they wish they would have known before so a post has been added to the forum announcements

I wish Jerry would present in Western Pennsylvania also. The Cabin Fever Show sponsored by the Penn’s Woods Chapter of Trout Unlimited near Pittsburgh just off the PA Turnpike would be a perfect venue this Spring.
