Nitro X,

Yes I've got Maneaters and Marauders......that's probably where I got the "australian" comments on John Dawkins.......though I have other Taylor books.

I think you'd be doing us a hell of a favour posting pictures of his firearms and possibly doing a writeup on him as he is an "historic" figure.

A similar writeup of Fletcher Jamieson would also be great if further intel is available.

It would also be a shame to see the history of the firearms lost.

I saw a picture of Dawkin's hammer double in one of the Taylor books..........is this one of the one's you know of ???

Historic firearms come up for auction occasionally and their "stories" are what make them outstanding.

Thanking you for the information............but eagerly awaiting more.
