Update 29th
July 2015
Welcome to my July
2015 Update.
I have been working
flat out to get as much done as possible for the September show at Dover
Furnace NY before Chrissy, the dogs and I head north for Isle of Mull for 3
weeks stalking, fishing, malt whisky and local beer. Some of the work has gone
well, some not but then that is antique shotguns for you!
I am now committed
to the ‘North American Shotgun
Classic’ at the Beretta Shooting Grounds, Dover Furnace, NY
on 24th-27th September. Flights, booth and
accommodation are booked and I am delighted that two good friends from this
side of The Pond will be coming along for the ride. Sue and Clive Cross have
shared my sporting world for over 30 years and it will be fun to introduce them
to the joys of the American S/S gun show.
The first two guns
are completed and details unloaded.
H&H
16b 30” TIG-sleeved SL (most
recent project from our Accipiter Series);
GE
Lewis 16b 29” Damascus Hammergun;
Both the above are
pre-1897 and nitro reproofed for 2 ¾”.
As usual I have left
several guns behind in North Carolina and these include:
Watson
Bros 28b Hammergun no 4606
Boss
& Co 12b RUL hammergun no 2717
A
spectacular FT Baker Needham patent 12b SLE, a real sleeper;
A
very beautiful cased, toplever 12b SLE by Henry Atkin with ‘makers replacement
steel barrels;
A
Murcott 12b hammergun with 30” damascus barrels;
Full details can be
found via links on the Stock Page.
Most of the guns
mentioned above are nitro proofed for a minimum of 2 3/4" cartridges and all
are pre-1897.
Lastly a reminder
that we now have a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heritage-Guns/1456166597974211.
Facebook is not everybody’s cup of tea but we will post photos and news there
that are not relevant to our main web site pages.
Enjoy your guns and shooting
wherever you are!
