Mickey:
A good Chrissie present for the missus might have been Wal Winfer's books "The British Single Shot Rifle", Vol.2 Gibbs, Vol.3 Jeffery, Vol.5 H&H.

All chock-full of pictures of original vintage Farkies.

That one on the Hallowell link is very recent (1993), stocked high for a scope, and many of those pictured on the 'net have been restocked with little regard for the original lines.

There is that famous photo of Selous at day's end on the veldt, updating his journal, with a couple of bustards and one of his Gibbs Farquharsons leaning against the bullock-cart. It's reproduced in Boddington's 'Safari Rifles' for one, rather poorly, but clearly shows the lines of an original Gibbs stock.
