In l893 Clabrough sold his company to an employee named Douglas Johnstone and retired to San Francisco. Johnstone added another line of guns under the name Clabrough & Johnstone and he carried on the business until World War I. Like many English gunmaking firms C&J was forced to amalgamate with other firms. In l9l4 they joined forces with Hollis Bentley & Playfair which were all under the management of John O. Redgrave a lifelong Clabrough employee who became the proprietor in l9l8. In l937 battered by import taxes then the Great War and finally the Depression Clabrough & Johnstone closed its doors. All that remains today is the unique legacy of a gunmaker that had roots both in England and the American West Coast." One of the most unusual and least known of all English gunmakers J.P. Clabrough built high-quality guns in Birmingham specifically for the American West Coast.We are not affiliated with any arms or gun manufacturer.
