Howdah Rifle
16/07/08 09:44 PM

Some of you may remember an earlier post on a Kavanagh Howdah Rifle I acquired from the liquidation of a private firearms museum late last year. Well I finally got around to doing a story on that interesting little double for our Arms Collectors Club newsletter.

The story is accessible through the 'Quarterly Newsletter' page of the Northern Territory Arms Collectors web-site, or go directly here.

The black-and-white photos look great in the printed publication, but lose a lot over the ether. Nevertheless, you get the idea.

BTW, interesting thread on bore-gun cartridges running concurrently, but bugger-all info on powder charges! Can anyone confirm the 3-dram assumption on a 12-bore 2 1/2-inch spherical ball or short conical pin-fire cartridge?
