The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter & H&H catalog
|
I just bought a copy of Bell's book in an antiquarian bookshop in Brisbane. 1958 edition.
Inside was a H&H catalog. No date but it says List no 70.
Must be pretty old as a .465 Royal Hammerless Ejector can be had for 490 quid or USD1372 according to the price list.
As well as being old it also shows well the USD has done against the pound since that time.

What a find! Love to see a copy of that H&H Catalogue.
Is the 465 on a bolstered action?
The price seems cheap to us 21st century observers, but I wonder how many houses could have been bought for the price of a 465 Royal.
Cheers, Chris

Unfortunately a very basic catalog Chris. About a double sided A5 page and no photos. The .465 listing was circled so one can only imagine.
