When the l890 US Tariff was enacted English exports to America began to decline. 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.
