HISTORICAL NOTES from Boothroyd's Directory
of BRITISH-GUNMAKERS:
William Cashmore began business in 1835 on Newton Street, (Birmingham) after serving his apprenticeship under Benjamin Swift. In 1858 they moved to Steelhouse Lane. They established an agency in Sidney so there are probably a good number of his guns Down Under. Cashmore was renowned for trap guns, chambered in 2 3/4" and 3". He has a number of patents and made Nitro proofed guns.
