A 1907 photo of a Jeffery .600 NE in the hands of German Hans Schomburgh, 1880 – 1967, taken while he was in the then North Rhodesia – Angola – Belgian Congo area. He wears that kilt because all his trousers fell victim to the bush. I will post more on him and photos from his books later in the African Vintage pic thread on the Hunting in Africa forum.

Wunderbar, Kuduae. Yes please.

A kilt is better than Herr Schomburgh doing a John Taylor!

Btw that kilt might be a pair of trousers cut and worn upside down?

I know the feeling. In the Top End hunting buffalo with Curl one of my pair of shorts ended up ripped almost from leg hem to belt on one side. Nice and airy that day.

I can see that if in the bush for months, thorns and Hardwear, a safari sewing kit would be essential.
