500 BPE rifle restored by a friend

This gun was restored by a good friend, a retired surgeon who, along with his wife, is an engraver and restorer of old guns. Hope you enjoy the article and pictures.

Cheers!

4seventy,

Ka'imiloa went to Rachel Wells to learn engraving and restoration after retiring as a cardiologist and restoration is a passion with him and Kehau. I have been pushing him to post more pictures of his and his wife's work on various forums and shall pester him with a link to this post to give me some more material.

Chasseur,

Thanks for your mail. I shall definitely pass on your wishes to him, though, of course, you are welcome to contact him at the mail ID on the article page.

Aloha!

Marvellous story, Mehul.
Putting these lovely old guns back into service is a very worthy ambition indeed!
Please pass on our thanks for the story.

Marrakai,

Thank you very much for the good words which I have passed on to Ka'imiloa. I shall also send him a link to the threads of guns that you have restored. I wish I had the skill to do something like this, and, more importantly, the money!

Thanks for the good words,
