Lynx,

Thanks for the superb pics.

Perhaps Iqbal could weigh in on this - I have heard that pig sticking is still practised in Pakistan?

Good hunting!

Awwwww . . . ! Just about the time I get to feeling that I'm getting old something like this comes up reminding me that I'm too young to have been there then. Blast! Nice shots, though. Thanx.

I would love to try pig sticking. Have to learn how to ride a horse first though.

Some pics from a seller of lance heads.

What I said on AR. It was worth repeating

Great photos and I especially like the double rifles and comments.

As many of these fine Indian doubles have since emigrated first to Australia and the UK and many since to the USA, wouldn't it be a fine thing to have a photo such as this, as part of the history of one's rifle. Hopefully some of these fine doubles have remained in their home for future hunting needs if they are ever reopened.

The Japanese believe a Samurais soul continues in his sword. I like to think the exploits, times and owners of vintage double rifles lingers in a fine vintage double rifle. Adding character and value to the blued, slightly worn steel and wood.
