Re: British firearms

From memory, so probably missing a few.

Double rifles
* Woodward 500BPE hammer double rifle, Jones underlever
* Dickson 500BPE " " "
* Dickson 450BPE " " "
* GE Lewis 360BPE " " "
* Alexander Henry 450BPE " " "
* EM Reilly 450BPE " " "
* Watson Bros 360BPE boxlock double on a Webley screw-grip action
* Purdey self-opening sidelock double 450/400 - inbound

Single rifles
* Martini Cadet, original condition, 310 Cadet
* Greener takedown martini, higher grade, tang peep - 22 hornet
* Greener martini, prewar scope, 22LR
* Francotte martini (British adjacent?) 22 hornet
* BSA martini, higher grade target rifle - 22LR
* Tranter double-patent rifle by Cogswell & Harrison - inbound - 450EX of some stripe...TBD
* Alexander Henry falling block, takedown - 360BPE
* Westley Richards martini, takedown - 300 Sherwood
* Dickson best-grade rook, 297/250

Double guns
* Greener G-grade 10ga double
* Two FH35 Greener doubles in 12 gauge (this is a step forward, as there were 3 previously)
* C.S. Rosson boxlock, cased, in 12ga - my first English sporting gun
* William Ford high-grade chamberless 10ga waterfowler, cased. Proofed for 3.25" inch brass cases, 2.25oz shot
* William Ford 10ga boxlock, standard proofs

Other
* Sporting percussion rifle, English, ~1850
* Parker Hale Enfield rifle, 2 band, .577, Modern

And then a mix of non-sporting guns: military Webley revolvers, an SMLE, and a L1A1. There's more commonwealth stuff, but this is the English/Scottish cohort. There's also the bits for a Bren gun, but that's unlikely to be ever completed as a US-legal semiautomatic.

But hey, I can stop any time I want to. Really. This isn't an addiction.
