Gun makers from the Philadelphia area such as Tryon, Henry, WurMein, Krider, and Wickham concentrated on producing and merchandising arms or arms parts rather than a style or a particular arm. Unlike the traditional "lock, stock, and barrel" gun maker, Tryon would manufacture, import, assemble, or acquire what a dealer or the public wanted. These Philadelphia gun makers also made parts for other gun makers throughout the country as well as for export. It is documented that Henry made parts for Colt, Winchester, and Rernington.' Tryon parts can be found on Henry and Krider arms, and Tryon sold parts and gun manufacturing equipment throughout the country. This proliferation of gun parts and supplies for the assembly of arms makes the study of Philadelphia gun makers challenging, but the quality of arms produced by these gun makers makes the task worthwhile.
