Wunderbar Capitan Marrakai. Looks pretty good.

I'll replace my travesty of a reading /!translation of it later on to avoid perpetual embarrassment!

I'll have to re-weigh it. I'm sure it is actually 13 1/2 lbs, heavy! 11 1/2 lbs was I guess the target weight.

The Indian "Bison" (or gaur) is spot on.

I'm glad to see the 1906 date. I wanted a pre WW1 rifle.

Thanks to Roy, for obtaining the Jeffery Daybook records.

If only one could know who was the initial buyer and it's history over the last 117 years. I'll have to use writer's licence and invent some stories and history.

One day must get a Jeffery labelled car case for it, tea can be used to age paper or parchment. Not a new case, but a good condition old one. I've got several but they are either too shabby, too modern, too plain, or not divided properly inside. The car case outfitted with suitable bits and pieces. Emblazoned with it's infamous owner's initials "J.J.H." .
