Curl-


I had this rifle out today to wipe it down and oil it, thought I should snap a shot of it's belly.
These are five of seventeen animals running around the metal on this nice old piece.

My 16b Mahillon Pinfire Double Rifle (of a cased 2 barrel set)




Enjoy!

Here's yet another belly to display.
The belly of a Westley Richards .303 double rifle.
A rather sneaky looking tiger, I must say!

Alexander Henry 450/400 2-3/8" BPE "Belly" [Re: CptCurl]
      #146454 - 23/11/09 01:28 PM

Hello guys,

I took some pictures of this rifle today and I thought that I would add to the "belly" photo collection. I find it interesting that the engraving patterns of Alexander Henry rifles of the same era differ so much. Do you suppose that they were chosen by the customer from a pattern book? This rifle was completed in 1890.

- Jim

That H&H .600 Nitro looks brand new. Or have you been wearing surgical gloves when you shoot it?

Nice.

I would've thought the Swan engaving might benefit from some "shadow/facet cuts" to enhance the work, and the Kell-esque borders need a tickle, no?

BTW she appears to be right handed.
