    That gun was made by the Midland Gun Company in Birmingham, a large factory that produced guns in various grades for trade clients with their own names on them. That gun is an example of their plainest d/b hammer gun and would have sold for about 4 Pounds Sterling in 1930. Similar guns were sold in NZ with names like NZ Farmers Co-Op, E Reece & Co, Colonial Ammunition Company, etc. etc. Midland went out of business in the late 1930's. Current NZ value in its present condition is about $100 on a good day. Not very wise to shoot it!
