That's all the rifles for now. The next bellies are shotgun bellies, but beautiful none-the-less.

First is a Harry Kell engraved Purdey 12 bore SLE from 1931. A beautiful, classic belly.



More to come.

Capt Curl this one is for you; another belly from the mind and studios of Harry Kell a Holland 375

Sinner,
That looks to be one special belly, but can you get a shot to show a bit more detail? Please.

One of the rather rare Westley Richards Sidelocks, as most of their top of the line doubles like this one were built using WR's distinctive detachable locks or, as we Yanks call them, "Droplocks." This one is chambered is WR's 318 and is in wonderful condition. Nicely engraved as well. Dave

It's my gun. I bought it. Hardly a 'random dealers' belly, unless you want me to call Kevin and say that you insist that I return it. Since the photo they took was quite good, why reinvent the wheel? Would you like to see more pictures or a copy of the bill of sale, or will my word suffice? Dave

And should I give this Lancaster 280 Flanged back to the man who bought it from Capt Curl? Since he already took a series of outstanding photos, why, as I said before, reinvent the wheel. Remember, unless we are talking about a Post-Korean War weapon, few of us are the original owners. Dave

The deposit I gave the guy I normally deal with, who told me an hour ago that the deal was done? Should I call him back and tell him to fly done to their store down there and grab it or should I wait for it to ship out on Monday?

Sorry, I deal with other snotty and sarcastic lawyers day in and day out, so my jab reflex is overdeveloped. Of course, I wish to God I WAS a 'poser' rather than a real owner, as I would have a lot more money in my accounts but that would leave me with a lot more space in the gun vault. Might piss off the guys I regularly deal with, though, and who the hell wants to die with money in the bank anyhow? No pockets in coffins.

By the way, that looks like a fairly nice H&H. I wanted a lighter shooting double and an H&H that wasn't an arm and more than one leg. Like most of the guns I buy from BC, they go back if misdescribed or if they have 'issues' that are not reported. Any issues with this one, so I can avoid surprises?

By the way, when you speak to Kevin next week remind him I still need the ammo shipped along with the pair of doubles that supposed to be on the way. Dave

By the way, Sinner, the preceeding note was my half-assed apology. As I said, I have an overdeveloped jab reflex. It took me years to learn not to take it out on my wife. The food tastes a lot better now that I figured out how to do that.

Yes, would enjoy whatever history and information you have on this gun. Post here please or, if you wish, send me a PM. Dave

All good here. In any event..

H&H 360NE: The gun was completely refinished by JJ about 10 years ago and not shot much since. The replacement stock was done by David Yale, the original forend was saved but has numerous minor repairs to save the appearance of the wood. Bores show strong rifling with minor erosion at the breech end, and there is very minor frosting in the grooves that run about 12" from the breech, the grooves are dark, as are the lands. It has not been re-proofed. I purchased the gun from George Caswell, and I was told the gun came from an estate sale a year or so earlier. My good friend Richard Edlund still has his H&H 360, he enjoys shooting varmints with it. I just never fell in love with the calibre, so bye bye it went..

I hope you find this information useful.

Thanks. Sounds as it was described, and the cartridge is no doubt why it sat there for a while and why they were willing to 'listen to reason'on price. I ended up with a very nice WR recently in a smaller caliber as the market seems to be in love with the big 'African' chamberings. I suspect once it arrives, it will find a home here as there are enough big honkers in the current collection, including once modern 500NE (and no, there is no need on earth to go larger than that, despite the 577 and 600 premium that anything in those chamberings bring)and my favorite big bore, a WR 476 Droplock from the first decade of the last century that looks far better for its age than its present owner does at his.

Too many very, very nice doubles in the smaller (i.e. under say 450-400) seem to languish on a dealer's shelf or on the Net while the bigger the kick in your shoulder, and your wallet, the faster they go out. Me? I would love to buy a top of the line double in a 22 Hornet, but every one I have found-- and they are scare on the ground -- other than the stupidly overpriced one at Conn. Shotgun, has been in poor condition. I have a whole lot of fun with a Webley Double in 250 Savage I bought from George last year, perfectly proportioned to the round, fun and accurate to shoot, and cheaper than dirt to feed -- as it was (comparatively) to buy. For shooting a double, and I shoot mine rather than leave them in the vault, I prefer the smaller calibers.

But, as part of my mea culpa for using other folks photos, albeit nicely done shots, here is one I just went downstairs and snapped of the 'belly' of an older H&H, a very nice hammer double in 500/450 BP. I thought showing a belly with a 'navel' might be fun. Dave
