In post-war Britain the gun trade was shrinking and even this attempt to mass-produce guns was undercut by the cheaper European makers. This boxlock probably dates from around 1925 and, though plain, is well made and serviceable.
Other Notes: In 1854 the Birmingham Small Arms Trade was formed as an association of the larger Birmingham gunmakers, barrelmakers and merchants which co-ordinated bidding for government contracts and the production of small arms. The Birmingham Small Arms Trade continued to operate until 1878, in 1861 the same gunmakers established the Birmingham Small Arms Company Ltd specifically to machine-make military small arms with interchangeable parts. The company was established in Steelhouse Lane and the factory, which was designed to manufacture 1,000 guns per week, was in Small Heath, Birmingham. The company made various patents including those of Snider and Westley Richards. From then onwards, it produced guns to order for the British government and those of overseas powers.In 1873 the company went into voluntary liquidation and the Birmingham Small-Arms and Metal Company Ltd (1873-1897) was formed. The new company concentrated on making percussion caps and ammunition and in 1885 an office in London was opened at 6 Great Winchester Street. From 1886 to the early 1890s the company prospered but again went into voluntary liquidation due to a lack of wars to furnish orders. In 1900 the company's name was changed to the Birmingham Small-Arms Co Ltd, and it opened additional offices in London at 5 Winchester Street. In 1904 the company started to make the first 1,000 Lincoln Jeffries patent air rifles for Lincoln Jeffries & Co; within 2 years they had made 10,000. Although the firm made a lot of rifles and single barrel shotguns, double barrel shotguns were not produced until 1920. During WW2, the firm produced over 1.25 million service rifles but after the war went into decline.
