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.

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?
