The "Gem" and who owned the rights to it....

[Garvin]

Thanks Danny. That's useful information about the legal use of the name "Gem" and that these air rifles were being imported in at least 1883 in GB. Bergmann obviously didn't have any IPR rights to the "air rifle" in GB but perhaps did for the combined cartridge and air rifle design via his patent.

All the best,
Jimmie

Apologies Jimmie, I hadn't dated the cutting - it was August 1886.
