Even though it haunts you it's nice to see that your rifle is till around and being used.

What a coincidence I actually have that issue with me in my briefcase at work

Do you actually know Erik Engelbrecht ? I know the retired doctor that he brought his practise from in East Londen. He also has a beautifull game farm in Aliwal North. Small world

I think I read in Magnum one time that a rifle never is really owned by anyone, it is just borrowed for a time...I believe that.

I wish I knew the history on my double and some of my English bolt guns, particularly my 375 H&H that I have been restoring for the last two years and am almost finished. I know it was used by poachers, and at one time it was a commercial croc hunters rifle and it showed it in rust and rot...I paid $600. for this Holland and Holland, so you can imagine its condition, but the bore was prestine. Apparantly the owner only took care of the bore and inside of the gun..not uncommon among USERS of guns in those days. It now looks like the day it came out of the London store. Albiet like grandads axe, two new heads and three new handles, but it is still grandads axe..
