Abstract
Among the firearms in the extensive Royal Armouries collection are three unusual carbines based on the patent of William Jenks. The story of how they entered the Armouries collection highlights an important time in the development of firearms technology. The tale of these three carbines is the story of two men, William Jenks and Doctor Alexander Jones.
