Rest your eyes upon this lovely example of the gunmaker's art:

It is said that such carictatures, with regard to fauna, were due to the engraver having precious little to go on in the way of information (no photographs, no moving images, no detailed record of form, only an approximation). Well, as for me, I quite happen to like the characterization as it speaks to interpretation (and, what is art, if not?). Mark my word, the new trend in firearms engraving will be such a manifestation. All is ripe for such a movement, all.

I regularly visit the explora . I was very saddened to hear about passing of Simon Cloud the director of Westley Richards. You could tell his passion for guns and hunting in his many posts.

Hi PaulB. Would you be interested in another WJ Jeffery .450/.400 NE 3". It's an extractor model and in superb condition, cased as well. Made in 1908. The rifle is here in Texas.
