They have regular meets where they buy/sell, mainly swap with people all over the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 21 hours ago, wymberley said: Anyone remember these? Have carefully avoided one third of the cartridge circumference It's become patently obvious that we're talking serious collections here. Apart from the fact that they offered good advice, these were not produced in great numbers and as such could be termed a "collectors' item". This one is sitting in my cabinet where it's been for high on 40 years doing nothing - I've very nearly shot it several times for the smell of the paper case . Now that Old Boggy has kindly pin-pointed the source, if anyone wishes to add a little humour to their collection, all they have to do is ask.

HW95J Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 A few more random cartridges here, not especially rare but it's useful to have pictures up online for future reference. 'The Tayside' primed empty case from R. Gow & Sons in Dundee. This shop closed in 2014 I believe 'The Grouse' by P.D Malloch of Perth (16 bore). Shop is still going. Eley Rocket Eley Special Trap Shooting 'The Trusty Servant' by Hammond Bros in Winchester. I believe closed in the 1930's(?) A few two inch cartridges, two by Eley and one certainly more recent one by Express Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
