This is a complementary video to that above from Rock Island Auction Company concerning Denys Finch Hatton's adventures, to include being the PH for Prince Edward. This provides a very good albeit short discussion of early hunting and later conservation in East Africa.

Hi Guys, This video on "Out of Africa: A Rifle of Denys Finch Hatton" is fascinating! The historical context and detailed examination of Finch Hatton’s rifle provide a compelling glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure from the early 20th century. The craftsmanship and personal significance of the gun are truly captivating. Thanks for sharing this unique piece of history.
 

You can now apparently have a new one made and not at a silly price
Wow! But I won't be surprised if someone doesn't pay extra to have a full length stock in original MS configuration...
This offering answers the question--"what would it cost today to reproduce the famous Mannlicher Schoenauer." I wonder if they are using some of the ancient machinery or had to start from scratch?

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
