Eagle27,

I'm much more likely to take the Stephen Grant 577/500 3-1/8” over this one since it has seen a lot of field use (the original owner, Maharana Fateh Singh, killed over 1,000 tigers in his lifetime and likely quite a few with that rifle). I just shoot the Watson Brothers rifle a bit and try to preserve it the way that it is for future generations to enjoy. I have always wondered if this rifle was ever even used on a hunt in India. Since the current owner of Watson Brothers tells me that he has the original ledger entry but no name it will be impossible to do any meaningful research. I frequently wonder if he does have the original owners' name but just doesn't want to release it. I know that John Dickson & Son will tell you everything that they have for an Alexander Henry gun less the original owners’ name. It’s a real shame because so much history is potentially lost. All it takes is a fire and it’s gone forever…

Jim
