Robert Hughes operated at 22 Moland Street, Birmingham England from 1855 to 1870. The barrel is blue and retains about 70% of the finish. The stock is oil finished. It does have one repair near the retainer for the wedge. It is well done and the checkering has been recut. It also retains the swivel loop on the butt and the swivel on the front band.
