The centerpiece of the Northern Territory Arms Collectors display of historical and heritage arms at the local rural show on the weekend was the Alex Henry 8-bore double.




Good stuff mate. I didn't realise the show was a public ie non shooting crowd show until now. Excellent work in providing the positive PR to the non shooting public.

That simple display elicited much comment from the general public, especially the younger show-goers, as well as the odd quip about "pathetic Englishmen shooting helpless elephants".





I can imagine. How can you show this despicable piece of man's barbarity to his fellow animal-human being creatures?!


Quote:

Fortunately the latter were a tiny minority compared with those who appreciate that such reminders of our past are being well cared for by serious collectors today.

"Well cared for" of course implies warming its barrels every so often!




Excellent.
