Mike, by chance I was copying the Preface to "Boothroyd's Directory" of U.K./Scotland/Ireland gunmakers. When he gets to a review of Scottish makers he says: "(in) Scotland we discover more gunmakers, the quality of whose work can bear comparison with anything made in the U.K." He mentions John Dickson as still with us and "rightly in the fore front" but states Dickson is "closely followed by other makers now sadly out of business, Alex Henry, Mortimer, Harkom and MacNaughton, all built guns which are today treasured by their fortunate owners."

So congratulations on your very nice Harkom once again.

Aloha, Ka'imiloa

Few pleasures exceed restoring a nice old gun and returning it to shooting and hunting.
