Marrakai,

You will enjoy Graham Greener's book, I promise!

I own a nice 1930's vintage JV Needham boxlock 12-gauge as well and just in case anybody claims English guns are just not worth it, well, they are full of it!

JV Needham was the first guy to invent ejectors back in the late 1800's and WW bought his business in order to be able to offer the "novelty" of ejectors to his clients. Grrener's continued to offer guns under the Needham name right up to WW II, and as a bonus they were generally of the better grades. My own gun, for example, cost 35 Guineas in 1935, so it is quite a svelte-looking boclock (interestingly, with Southgate ejectors)!

I just came back from a weekend of super-quality wingshooting near Viljoenskroon in the Free State Province over here. Nice, heavy bag of yellowbill ducks and a neat double of Swainson's Francolin over pointing dogs. Life can be good over here sometimes, in spite of all the other obstacles in the way...

Interestingly, a friend of mine owns an absolutely stunning Greener .30-06 facile princeps double as well as an absolute mint 1900 "G" Grade 12-bore Pigeon Gun. Heaven...

Regards!

JvW
