Do you know how many of these Ferguson & MacBean might have made? Did they made round-top ones as well as square-top?
I don't, I've seem some slightly later ones of theirs which are hair with silver cantle but these are the only three proto-Hunting style ones of their that I know of.
The other well known maker of the time was Henry Tatton, Edinburgh. This one is quite well known but I don't know who ones it now. I know another similar to this.
