Woah. That looks like an exact copy of mine, made in London. Very interesting!

And me and Bent Ramrod had a nice conversation on Edward Zorn. But unfortunately, neither of us knew anything beyond what we had in front of us.

Maybe a slight diversion, but has anybody heard of E. A. Zorn before?  I checked through Landis' books and Crossman's book on .22 rifle shooting and found no mention.

I have a box of chambering reamers, most of which have E A ZORN stamped on the shanks.  He apparently was a serious gunsmith at one time; the reamers do not look "homemade."  I got them at an estate sale so naturally the chance for provenance was gone.


I have heard of Zorn but right offhand I can't recall where.
