Hi McKinney

Frank Hallier raised the money to build the first tourist game lodge at Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. It looks like there will be a certain amount of information about him in publications around this and related subjects. There were only a few .416 Rigby's ever made in this era. I would imagine that most of their owners would have stories to tell.

The first owner of my Rigby shotgun wrote a book about being a doctor in India, which I got off Amazon. However several chapters are about his hunting exploits. He used a double-rifle to shoot a whole variety of big game, from deer to tiger. He even got invited by a Maharaja, (whose life he had saved more than once), to a world-famous duck-shoot in India. Ironically he admits he was rubbish with a shotgun!

So you never know what you will find if you follow these leads up.
