Nice guns Daryl. The early 1800's is the grey area of big bore hunting to my mind. Just what did the first hunters bring over. No dedicated 2 bores surface in proven literature I have found. But did someone level one of the smaller 2 bore puntguns or some oversized blunderbuss at an elephant at some stage? its not unlikely. They were apparently trying anything they could to bring them down.

An update that the current custodians of Samuel Baker's gun have gotten hold of me and hopefully I will have some exact measurements of it. I was thinking its suprising more people havent checked it before but I guess before the internet it was difficult to track down and secondly anyone who did visit and satisfy themselves as to the guns dimensions probably had limited way to declare it afterwards.

Sorry for the thread hijack btw.
