Re: Alex Henry 450/400 3-1/4" NE Double Rifle joins the Family

Hello All,
Well, I finally received a response from John Dickson about my inquiry as to the history of this rifle. They charge £35 to provide a digital copy of the record entry for the gun, which shows the details of the complete specification of the rifle, the date of delivery, and who ordered it. I'm told I will have the information by this Thursday.
I'm hoping to discover it belonged to some famous hunter. Many early professional hunters used a 450-400. For example; Jim Corbet, who used a Jeffery 450-400. I've got my fingers crossed.
