Pushkin Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Simgunner, can you give us a bit of background on this person as I immediately thought it was the wartime prime minister you were speaking about? I know he used to do a good bit of watercolour painting but I also knew he died many years ago. Give us a hand mate. Pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think he means this fella,,,,? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=http://www.wchurchill.com/&ved=2ahUKEwjmnO_3lcWAAxXhg_0HHVm_CT4QFnoECB4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw0zfw2JjTD1U6DTyXKjq6Jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted August 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) I thought He was British because of his name And the special Guns he engraved for H&H and Purdey. His .577 H&H double rifle is one of the best looking guns I have seen in over 60 years of shooting. His skill was unequaled.

Simcgunner, I have never come across this Wiston Churchill; but I am glad you have brought him to my attention.
