Re: Secret stuff hidden in Rifles.

Recently, I read an article about Fletcher Jamieson, a Rhodesian professional hunter that was very interesting. Fletcher was a friend of John Taylor and in fact all the photos in his book "African Rifles & Cartridges" were from Fletcher.

Fletcher had a 500 Jeffery made for him by Jefferys of London, with his name encribed on the barrel. His son now owns it I believe or used to own it, but when the rifle was sent back to Jefferys for refurbishment, they found a note under the butt plate from Fletcher wishing whoever bought the rifle the best of luck with it, or words to that effect.

Beautiful rifle. What a bonus to find a note like that from someone like him!
