The barrel (barrel) has the hallmarks of Birmingham, 1813 onwards. If they stopped working TWIGG (or died) in 1788, spent 25 years (or more) to use a key (lock) .... Precisely, this is a very common procedure, falsifying the origin to give more category. For example, here in Argentina are military weapons, produced in Belgium, with fake punches and English word TOWER, and even crowned GR (But with the punch ELG) Affectionately. Fernando K |

Hi Fernando K,
There is also an Edward Twigg from 1838-45 working in Birmingham at 34 Whittall street.
