  1. The latest addition to make an 'irregular' pair. Same maker (ish). Same weight, barrel length, almost the same stock dimensions but slightly different handling. Same engraver....?
  2. Thanks for the replies. I would only want it done properly with the hope being that it is in line with how the gun looked in 1924. Salmo, did that cost include everything from handing your gun over to getting it back all finished or just the hardening? GBS
  3. Hi All, I understand the risks of re-case colour hardening but I have an older gun, with deep cut engraving, that might suit it. Has anyone done this with good results and that did not look like a tart's breakfast? Thanks, GBS
  4. I'd prefer to try and sell the whole lot together but i'll let you know if this changes. Best, GBS

  11. Hi, Westruther GBS
  12. I have sold my lovely little 16g so these are now surplus to requirements. 250 x Express Special Sixteen 30g 6 Fibre 80+ Express Supreme Game 28g 5&6s Fibre £60 collected, Scot Borders, must produce SGC. GBS
  13. Found it! I contacted a taxidermist who put me in touch with an engraver. Thank you for all of the suggestions. GBS
  14. I will try that, thank you. Likewise the old fashioned cobbler/hardware shop. I will try this too. Thank you both, GBS
  15. I have a pair of antlers that I want to mount on a shield. I would also like to put a small plaque below the antlers stating where and when it was shot. I'd like this plaque to be an old fashioned type with black letters on a white/ivory background. I suspect these are ivorine or plastic. Does anyone have any idea where to find such a thing? This is the best photograph I can find, I'd prefer a simpler shape but this shows the material I have in mind. TY, GBS
  16. GSOH NS Mischief Good ratter Very good temperament. Scottish Borders (I appreciate it is very difficult to foist a dog on someone’s beloved bitch. S is a very nicely natured terrier with a killer instinct. Good family dog. We brought him back from Kenya (where we lived) five years ago so he’s new to the UK gene pool! His brother is the top dog in a pack down in Tanzania and his two sisters are still in Kenya. We also have a spaniel bitch who is intact and turns his little brain to mush twice a year. We would like one puppy if successful. Happy to discuss any options as we would like him to continue and have a legacy.) GBS
  17. Many of the 'kids' ear defenders are just full size ones with a smaller headband and a funky colour. The Baby Banz ear defenders seem to be properly scaled down but it depends on the age of your children. Buy the BANZ Baby Ear Defenders at KIDLY UK GBS
  18. I haven't used it for a while but I think there is a free online version of SketchUp. GBS
  19. Toby has the details. I met him recently and gave him a very poorly 16g SLE which he is restoring. There have been a few updates on social media of him stripping it down which are fascinating. GBS And replied to. GBS
  20. I’d prefer to keep the connection the same as there is a remote release button somewhere for the machine. thank you for the replies. GBS
  21. All, thank you for all of the input. I've had no joy with Laporte. Harting do make a connector of the same pattern as this but it appears, when dismantled, that this one is from ILME. CEF have this for a whopping £2.80 (one clay trap firm is offering them for $25!!) Once I have a new connection does anyone know how straightforward it is to wire in a new push button control? Is it a case of buying a three port, momentary push button and wiring it to the connector? Something like this: Thank you all again, GBS
