Re: British History: Gordon of Khartoum?

Hello Hunter475
To date I have actually used the extracts from the Henry records found in the Donald Dallas and Wal Winfer books; you are correct the Alexander Henry records are not online.
Dickson Managing Director, Mr. J-P Daeschler, is sending me the copies of records, etc. by Post. Yes, £55 gets one the whole works and includes cost of Post.
In my research I certainly did come across mention of the noted eccentric C.F. Gordon, and you are spot on, he probably DID keep Henry in business. The man would have been 13 years old in 1872 so quite unlikely that he bought the rifle; that man's story is an interesting read in and of itself.
Thanks for your input,
- Mike
