WDM Bell's/Robert Ruark's 450/400 Jeffrey
06/10/15 12:09 PM

I have recently been re-reading Horn of the Hunter, the edition with Harry Selby's input.

A couple of questions come to mind.

Harry Selby mentions that at one time Ruark turned up with two rifles that formerly belonged to WDM Bell. A 7x57 bolt action and a 450/400 Jeffrey double rifle. Both had been fitted with plaques "to godson Mark Selby from godfather Robert C Ruark" or words to that effect.

We have seen pictures on this forum of the bolt gun but none of the double rifle.

It would be interesting to find out from Mark as to what happened to the double rifle.

There is also reference to an Australian Professional Hunter, Frank Bowman, yet an internet search reveals nothing of him. Was this a "monicker" for another hunter (possibly Australian Bill Jenvey) or is he ficticious ???
