He started in the trade with Charles Moore Gunmaker in 1827 where he became the head finisher and later it turned into Moore & Woodward. In 1872 it became James Woodward & Sons at the address of this gun. In 1937 they moved to 28 Bury Street and in 1948 Tom Purdey acquired Woodward as a going concern. In 1913 Woodward started production of their now famous O/U and along with Boss it was the finest design produced in the British gun trade. Purdey acquired Woodward because of this O/U design and it became the Woodward style of O/U's at Purdey. Woodward was known as producing best quality guns only but did produce and sell plainer quality pieces. This gun is a fine example of their efforts in that regard.
