LTD., LONDON, N.I Gun-making T HE remarkable figured barrels of fine old shot- guns were made by welding thin alternate strips of hard and soft metal into a riband. The riband itself was then twisted into a tight corkscrew and welded, becoming a tube from which the finished barrel was fashioned by boring, grinding, filing and polishing. On being etched with acid the softer metal took on a darker tone and so showed up the intertwined hard and soft hmina tions of the original rods. The European wars of the Middle Ages gave to continental gunsmiths a long lead over those of peaceful England, but by m -Vic- torian days English guns of all kinds, tacts mainly of Binning .-rr. and twenty miles round, were acknowledged the finest in the world. In step with the mechanical progress of the English midlands the Midland Bank extended and developer its services at home a abroad. From being a MB local bank in 1836 it h become one of the world s great banks, with a reputa- tion second to none for complete, conscientious and, above all, friend!; service.

Gun-making

TH E remarkable figured barrels of fine old shot­

guns were made by welding thin alternate strips of hard and soft metal into a riband. The riband itself was then twisted into a tight corkscrew and welded, becoming a tube from which the finished barrel was fashioned by boring, grinding, filing and polishing. On being etched with acid the softer metal took on a darker tone and so showed up the intertwined hard and soft hmina tions of the original rods. The European wars of the Middle Ages gave to continental gunsmiths a long lead over those of peaceful

England, but by m -Vic­

torian days English guns of all kinds, tacts mainly of Binning .-rr. and twenty miles round, were acknowledged the finest in

the world. I n step with the mechanical

progress of the English midlands the Midland Bank extended and developer its services at home a abroad. From being a MB local bank in 1836 it h become one of the world s great banks, with a reputa­tion second to none for complete , conscientious and, above a l l , friend!; service.
