welcome to rowland watson & thomas wild

For nearly 3 centuries, Rowland Watson and Thomas Wild were amongst the most prolific names in the Birmingham gunmaking industry, making guns for the public as well as producing guns for other historic names such as William Powell, Webley, W. Ford, and G. E. Lewis, to name a few. The ubiquitous Thomas Wild hammer gun proved immensely popular from its inception, and remained in production long after hammer guns became obsolete, giving shooters a modest, affordable and reliable alternative to the offerings of other makers and becoming iconic in its own right.
