Beaumont-Vitali Rifles.
Nice to get three together...
Do any of them have names stamped into the Buttstocks...I ask this because a lot were used in both the East Coast (NY) and Hollywood in the Pre-WWI Film-making days...I don't know who imported them, Bannermann maybe?
The predecessorsa of Stembridge Gun Hire had quite a few of these back in 1917, when Stembirdge took them over...just can't remember the name ??Levinson, or similar??
Anyway, a nice find. Hope they are complete and functioning.
