About W.J. Jeffery: Jeffery was already well known at the turn of the century, but notice was certainly taken with their impressive line of Double Rifles. They had a large range of cartridges from .280, .333, and 404, 450 #2, 475 #2, and the famous 600 Nitro. Jeffery was at the 13 King Street address until 1914, then moved to 26 Bury Street and then to 9 Golden Square in 1921. The Jeffery firm remained in business until 1955, in 1957 Westley Richards purchased the firm, and then in 1959 it was merged with Holland & Holland.
