mehul,

Many years ago, I bought a used (cheap) Rizzini from my local clay pigeon club for UKP25. At that time it must have easily had 250K shots through it. I shot for about 15 years and then gave it to my nephew when I moved out to Africa........ and he's still using it. Bearing in mind it was a cheap Rizzini as opposed to the more expensive version, it was a helluva good buy huh!

I now have an old Hellis boxlock that I've owned for about 15 years. It's not a bad gun but it's a non ejector and fairly plain and I'm just now in the throes of selling it to make room for 1923 sidelock ejector Dickson that a friend needs to get rid of as part of the new(ish) SA gun laws.

I've never been able to find much out about the Hellis so any light you can shed would be gratefully received. The gun is marked C Hellis & Sons and the number is 4234.
