Re: Show Your Bellies!

Yes, unusual indeed.
I quite like the elephant, not the usual game-scene as so many were mounted with howdahs for the hunt, rather than depicted as quarry.

Tried to kid myself that bruin could be a sloth bear in the Hindu Kush, but nah...

...and that chambering would be banned throughout the Raj just 3 years later!

BTW: here's the belly of the Rigby Rising Bite 12-bore shotgun that accompanied me to the goose swamps recently.
Again, nice to reference all things "Rigby" this year as a celebration of their 250th Anniversary.
Hope they are still making fine London guns in 2275!
