Biographical data
Name: Bash, Samuel  
Born: 1845
Died: 19 Feb. 1926
 
Notes:
Name unclear on poor microfilm copy of the Globe. Looks like 'Bash'. Initial could be S, B or E? The Field of 16 Dec. 1876 has 'S. Bash'. The Chess Player's Chronicle of Aug. 1875 (p.311) has 'J. Bash'. Alan McGowan has identified him as Samuel Bash, and sends copies of a census record, a death record, and a newspaper report of his invention of a new rifle (Glasgow Evening Citizen, 15 Sep. 1868).
