In reply to:
if you look at the total number of rifles built by each of the noted gunmakers you would certainly see that the majority of these guns ( Double Rifles )found their way to India and not Africa
Can't but agree! It was the fabulous wealth of the Indian Rulers that allowed them to persue their passion for British double rifles, since that sort of wealth just did not exist in Africa. That there are a few British doubles around today for us to aspire to the ownership of, is their peculiar legacy!
