    Old school shotgun / Scholefield

    Got given an old side by side, has hammers,double trigger. All i can get off it is Schoefield London & Birminham, it has a trademark of some sort and also a few small icons here and there

    Will try and take some pics at some stage

    Anyone familiar with these,cant seem to find much on the net

    Fore stock is missing,so only barrels and stock, want to see if it has any value and find it a more deserving home...

    Just read this on another forum

    Phorum :: Shotguns :: Re: Information on old shotgun

    Thanks for the reply! Was the spelling that you wrote in your reply correct, i.e., Schofield? The name on my rifle is Scholefield - I checked it again. A member of another forum was kind enough to look up this name in Boothroyd's Directory of British Gunmakers and it is not in there. However, there are a couple of other firearms that I found on the www with this name stamped on them as well. So this is turning into a real mystery. The only thing I can think of was that Scholefield was a gun merchant but didn't actually make any guns. Anybody got a merchant listing from the early 1900s for London or Birmingham?
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    A lot of old shotguns were made in bulk in the Gun Quarter in Birmingham and branded for the retailers in London, Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh or shipped overseas.

    Old thread but came up on a search.

    I came by an old 12g Single last couple of years, from a forum member actually, side hammer and a bit of polish revealed it as a "Scholefield London & Birmingham". No serial number. In surprisingly good shooting cond but just using it for club shoots with modest loads. Now I just have to register it. Bloody useless register app that it is....Guess I'm going to have to buy a set of metal stamps for numbering from somewhere
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...
