Hello Ash, Hello Claydog,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am very fortunate to have discovered this rifle's history along with the many photographs from Jim's Hunting adventures. Many of the photographs show the Trophy
Tusks from his elephant.

Back in the 70's these were considered very large tusks, being slightly under, and over 100lbs. Today, tusks this huge are almost nonexistant, with 70 pounds being considered large.

Unfortunately the photos I've posted are now 3rd generation and have lost a lot of detail, but I think they still tell the story.
