Guys, this is a plea for help. I'm researching the life of 'Samaki' Salmon, one of the great elephant control officers of all time. An extraordinary man he is often overlooked. Trouble is there are almost no pictures of him, other than a few poor ones on the net. If you know of any please get in touch.

He died on his farm in Natal in 1952, leaving a wife (Celia) and a daughter (Charmain.) If anyone knows what happened to them (or where he is buried) drop me a line.

Thanks,

Pete

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
