The established date noted as A.D 1775 has yet to be proven. The link to the previous generations of Trulock gunmakers unclear. Many Trulock names exist for this period and the genealogy has yet to be confirmed. 

N.B: It has often been found that gunmaker's "extended" their trading periods.

We are always interested in weapons produced by the Trulock Brothers and also any relevant 
information regarding their history.
