Farmboy91 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Does anyone have any information on and R. Rous of beyton, Suffolk? All I can find is a tiny bit online referring to it as 'The peoples mart' and 'cycle depot' and a small section in a book i have, and according to my old man he's dad used to work there. They were supposed to have cartridges with their name printed on the tube, has anyone seen one by chance? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Ok, I am giving away free to good homes, 3 X 12g cartridges to separate collectors at one of the replacement Catton rifle shoots probably at Royle Far?. They are head stamped KENT. Plastic cases, the lettering as is usual fading. 67.5mm , No 5 shot, Both imperial and decimal shot weights 1 1/8 oz and 32 g. Marked Rugeley Guns and Tackle. Staffordshire. From the Ray Probert era. Ray cremated 2014 and his ashes made into clay pigeons and blown in the wind. Anyone? You need to show the relevant cert. First come to preserve a bit of history! PS, Flyboy1950, I have one for you Edited April 1, 2019 by old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lever357 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Glad I stumbled across this thread, If you are on facebook there is a shotgun cartridge collectors group as well. I have a collection for full boxes, mainly newer makes, but have recently picked up some older stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
