HISTORICAL INFORMATION OF INTEREST:
The history of Charles Stanley Rosson (Charles III) prior to his move to Norwich is recounted in the history of his father, Charles Rosson (Charles (II)) of 4 Market Place , Derby, and that of his grandfather, Charles Rosson (Charles (I)) of 56 Hatchett Street, Birmingham.
In 1905 Charles (II) bought the business of Edwin Wilson at 13 Rampant Horse Street, Norwich, Norfolk, and sent his younger son, Charles (III) to run it. Charles (II) then retired. However, for many years, the Norwich establishment sold guns under the Derby address.
In 1913 Percy Rosson and Charles III patented a single trigger and safety catch (No. 4883).
Charles (II) died on 8 August 1914, Percy inherited the Derby business and Charles (III) inherited the Norwich business which changed its name from Charles Rosson to C S Rosson & Co.
In 1931 Charles (III) patented a sliding top lever (No. 360608) which was used with Edwin V Smith's easy opening action. At this time the firm's guns were made in Birmingham by Edwin V Smith, Skimmin & Wood, and Joseph Curry amongst others.
In 1942 the premises at 13 Rampant Horse Street were bombed and all the records were destroyed. The firm moved to 427 Unthank Road and then in about 1946 to White Lion Street.
From 1946 the firm was managed by Gallyon & Sons from the Kings Lynn branch. In 1947 the Rosson family took back control, R J B Mills appears to have been the actual manager of the business at that time (he died in 1953). Charles (III) died on 20 January 1950, presumably the firm remained in family ownership and was managed for them.
In the early 1950s the firm became a limited company, C S Rosson & Co Ltd, and moved to 7 Bedford Street. At about this time the company had guns made for them by S Wright & Sons of Birmingham (in 1954 Fred Wright left the firm to join Grant & Lang as a jobber, stripper and finisher).
In 1953 the firm, by then one of the largest provincial cartridge makers, formed a new company with Charles Hellis & Sons Ltd to make cartridges. Hellis had been one of, if not the largest, cartridge maker in London. Hellis Rosson Ltd was not a success and they ceased to trade in 1956 (see Charles Hellis and Hellis & Rosson).
On 1 May 1965 the firm of C S Rosson was sold to Gallyon & Sons Ltd, they moved their head office to the Rosson premises at 7 Bedford Street.
*****SPECIAL NOTE*****
1. I am a reasonable man – I encourage you to make reasonable offers on my listings. At times, there is some flexibility in pricing – other times there is not. I have been collecting guns since 1988 – so I have amassed quite a covey of what I consider to be some very fine guns and some utility guns. Feel free to call me, unlike most gun dealers – I am easy to talk to and will answer the phone on weekends and late evenings (not after 9PM CST).
2. I DO NOT ACCEPT TRADES
3. I do provide LAY-A-WAY plan, please inquire about my terms if you have a need – glad to do it when I can.
4. My collection consists of many guns that were bought from individuals – that means **I BUY GUNS** but I only buy clean used guns with collectibility. In particular - **I BUY SHOTGUNS**
5. ALL OF MY TRANSACTIONS ARE DONE THROUGH MY FFL with whom I have a very solid relationship. If you buy a guns from me, you’ll pay them, they will ship to your FFL of choice and all dealings will be with them post receipt of funds. They are a high end boutique gun dealer in the Texas Hill Country and can accommodate the entire transaction. If you live in Texas and want to drive to see one of my guns, reach out to me to discuss making an appointment with my FFL – I do not show guns at my home nor do I meet guys at public locations for viewings or sales. ALL GUNS ARE LEGALLY TRANSFERRED through my FFL – there are NO EXCEPTIONS.
6. Certified funds are preferred – if you send a personal check for payment the FFL ships one week after receipt. Certified funds payments – shipments are done next business day. NO CREDIT CARD payments are accepted.
7. I encourage you to shoot the guns you buy from me – so during your 3 day inspection – shoot the gun. Make sure it is operating in the manner you expected. If you are not happy – return the gun for a full refund except shipping costs.
