  1. I must put up photos of my newly acquired Greener 30" damascus barrels, A&D, non ejector, 2 1/2. It won't compete with the stunning Dixon above though I can also miss stylishly It came with a nice leg of mutton case, lining gone but soft leather not brittle, and a letter back from Greener in 1951 to the then officer owner saying they couldn't find the orginal records
  2. Is Dicksons now owned by J-P Daschler? It is
  3. The gun looks fabulous (I've just agreed to buy a damascus Greeener) Would you put steel throught it? There seems to be a consensus that a lead ban is coming
  4. Not less than a Beretta but Purdey hve these https://www.guntrader.uk/guns/shotguns/purdey-james/side-by-side/12-gauge/171107125326010
  5. No, they are always there, generally about 3-4 weeks prior to the auction
  6. Very nice guns 1901 would appear to be the year they're from
  7. This is still available and I'm open to offers, especially as I'm unlikely to get a 12 reg car soon KM
  8. There's this where I'm from http://www.southderbyshiremining.co.uk/contact.html My dad and all my uncles were miners; a lot of Geordies came down in the 60s (from around Peterlee) Some of my aunts worked in the pit canteens
  9. My favourite country pub, a base for fishing and shooting in Yorkshire http://www.thefalconinnskipton.co.uk/ Food in the evenings only for residents or if you've booked in advance K
  10. Just caught this: (8.30am, 28/7) surprised to hear positive views on shooting; ladies shooting and trap mentioned and the game fair was obviously visited
  11. There are a few breakdown slips available which are more discreet, Napier do 1, Williamanson also do 1. I've seen another (Wards, advertised on here) that looks like a full slip cut in 2 then with straps to keep the 2 parts together
  12. It's gone to ninjaferret, who was the first to pm Kevin
  13. I've been out to walk the dog and expected to have this offer taken-up by the time I came back
  14. Hello All I've have an unused 1 of these I'm about to take to a charity shop but I thought I would offer it here first I'm in NW London and would prefer collection as I don't want to post. It's called the "Impertane" Luxury hunting jacket. There's a bit of mud on the back from being stored under a well-used jacket. I'll add photos Kevin
  15. Very nice, I do like side levers and they seem to suit the left-handed shooter like me, using the thumb to open The Internet Gun Club shows John Ross as an outworker https://www.internetgunclub.com/database/historicalresult.php?id=69234&country=anycountry&area=&firstname=john&surname=ross&text=&currentpage
  16. Information Trade: Gun lock maker Dates: 1875-1896 Notes: William Mansfield (Jnr) was the son of William Mansfield (b.1807) of Darlaston Road, Wednesbury. He was born in 1843 and recorded in the 1851 and 1861 censuses living with his family in Darlaston Road. He appears to have established his own business in 1875 in Cornhill, Wolverhampton. In 1877 he moved to Lord Street West. He became a friend of Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey and in 1887 patented "The Gallwey Brazier Improved Game Scorer" a game counter which could be fitted into the fore... From the Internet Gun Club KM

  18. There's this Michel http://auctions.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/fullcatalogue.asp?salelot=XS0418++4896+&refno=++104346&image=1 It looks to have a space for the bite, tatty though, but cheap
  19. I'm in, I love using them, especially hammer guns (Woodward in the pic, though sleeved and restocked so affordable)
  20. That's ridiculous; Purdey let me see the records for the Woodward (pictured): bought as 1 of 3 for Colonel Charles Napier Sturt in 1882, his 50th birthday year
  21. I do love hammer guns Always with 21gm or 28 6s on a game shoot
  22. There are 7 pages of 26" barreled OUs on Gun Trader, mostly single trigger ejectors, none with 24" barrels, 1 Beretta cut-down to 25" I enquired about a gun (SBS) from Tony Morris once and he was helpful Kevin
  23. Good morning all SG12 BOR I have this for sale, on retention, £1500 It can be put on a vehicle registered from March 2012, not before KM
