More photos added to earlier post. One with mauser that is long gone. And unidentified sadly..

My buddies (who are itching to shoot the rifle) have made inquiries to Bertrams... they were told cases would only be sold by the hundred. But there's not many elephants here, so we only need a handfull.

Kynoch will supply small lots but not export we hear. An English mate did go back home (twice)recently,but to bury his parents so didn't get any cartridges.
I forgave him. Both times. Let them breed up i said. (Elephants that is).

I do have that book on loan from a kind Chap, who advised the need for suitably constructed projectiles and even gave me an old box end of the ones i need.
So... slowly, learning learning....
But no ammo yet.

...a photo of gun shut, and more booty.
