Arthur Conyers & Sons "The Express" 12 Gauge Cartridge

A scarce Arthur Conyers & Sons “The Express” 12-bore sporting cartridge, supplied by the historic gunmaking firm of Blandford, Dorset.

Arthur Conyers established his gunmaking business in Blandford during the late Victorian period, becoming a well-known provincial gunsmith and sporting retailer serving the Dorset shooting community.

“The Express” was one of several proprietary shotgun cartridges associated with Conyers. Other recorded house names included Express de Lux, Deluxe, Dorset County and Water Resisting Case.

Cartridges such as The Express are fascinating survivors from a period when provincial British gunmakers supplied sporting ammunition carrying their own distinctive names and branding. They provide a direct connection with the traditional local gun trade and the sporting life of the surrounding countryside.
