What a lovely gun to own. And would still be useful for a mixed deer, boar, bird, small game walk with the dog.

A .500 BP or BPE is not overly gunned for such like a .500 NE would be.

Another reason to have such a gun in India is shown by the small book in the photo. If one bumped into a tiger, nice to have a .500 ready at hand, not just a load of 4's for peacock or 7's for pheasant!

PS Lancaster, thanks for posting the photos.

BTW what is the purpose of the piece of grooved wood with two pegs?
