Old firearms are a passion of mine (although modern politics about firearms ain't so welcome here). Today I learned that Henry Nock, a well-respected London gunmaker who died in 1804, left his business to his son-in-law, whose name was Wilkinson. The very same Wilkinson whose business eventually became Wilkinson Sword! Three degrees of separation between many shaves I have enjoyed and Henry Nock!
Anyone else learn something interesting today?
