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! ![]() ![]() |
