A most enjoyable book. I also have Westley Richards: The Firm 1812-1913 and Westley Richards: A Century of Gun & Rifle Manufacture 1812-1912 Yes, a visit to Westley Richards is well worth the travel to Birmingham if one is in England. The new Rigby premises are shaping up to be very...

Buffalo Stroganoff tonight.
