I found two H. Elwell's, the American lock maker, and the other Henry Elwell is listed as a Birmingham gun maker 1838-1857, who marked his guns London. I did read something about three seemingly rare Elwell rifles, but so little information, I don't know if they were referring to the lock maker or the shotgun maker. I did find most of the English Elwell's shotguns were listed in the low hundreds. They did not seem to be held in the same regard as the finer English gun makers
