What's in a Name?

[wymberley]

Hi,

What's the odds from the thousands made?

I've just bought a second Churchill, trading in the first. The 1st was 1947 and now 1935. Both were bought from the same RFD with no known history. Because of their somewhat unusual surnames - one taken from the original works order form and the other from the VC case - I have spoken to the sons of both of the original owners.

The first was quite a story, being made for his father who lost an arm in WW11 and was a originally a "one arm" version although subsequently two aspects of this had been removed. I'm now waiting for the history (there was some detail in the case when sold but I suspect some cold hearted dealer binned it) of the 2nd to be mailed to me.

Cheers

I have always meant to get in contact with churchill for the info about my gun although it does have basic order info in the case when purchased giving year of production (1964) but not much else. But lets see some pics of the new gun then.

George, morning.

Not computor literate, photo's by me, no hope. However, the dealer did some good ones: Go to, www. sportarm.com and hit "discover our latest delights", scroll down to Churchill and you'll find the Utility.

Cheers,

Phil

PS If they still do it, can't see why not, it was £20 for a copy of the works order form.
