Patterson would have a mustache and a pith helmet in hand if not on head, but a good thought with maneless lion???

#24, my guess: C. Fletcher Jamieson and his 26" barreled .500 Jeffery, a "one-off" rifle made by W.J. Jeffery, one-off of the total of 24 sold between 1927 and 1940???

I don't know why I am guessing this, but I am, just to still be guessing.

In other words, ATTENTION PLEASE NICKUDU: Who is #24?

I see Fred Bear is tacked on at the end, last image is #10.

WTG, Canuck. Lots of mysteries solved.

#24 looks a lot like the young George Adamson to me.

#24 is a man who should be known more widely but somehow, is not. He was Knighted for his lifelong accomplishments, not solely in Africa but also the Middle-East. A great man in many respects and beloved by ALL who knew him.

And his face as shown is almost shadowed out so this will require some detective work and use Nickudu's clues. What a tease.

RIP

You should be happy I asked him to remove his hat before snapping the picture!

Here's another, less dramatic photo:

Ah! A complete face. I'll get Watson on it pronto.

What the heck took so long?

Aw, t'weren't nuttin. The Nickudu files are a veritable treasure trove of Who's Who! Just had to wait til the weekend to dig 'em all up.

Where did #10, Fred Bear, go to?

RIP, I was wondering where #10 was too, but eventually found it at the very end.

Still stumped on #24 though....

Cheers,
Canuck

Aw, t'weren't nuttin, eh? Well then, you are hereby conscripted to ferret out 40 or 50 more photos for "A Hunter's Who's Who" part three!

Mind you now, the formula is 60% to whet their appetites, 30% to make them work a bit and 10% to Educate! Your Report, quite appropriately IMO, is due the 1st of April!!

Canuck,
Your feat is truly amazing.
Nickudu is a stern taskmaster.
Work your fingers to the bone, and what do you get? You don't get a break on #24.

RIP

You may question my methods but not the results.

This man, Canuck, didn't know Hallie Salassie from Ichabod Crane three years ago!

All in jest, of course .. great job Canuck!

#24's name was actually part of a post title in "African" less than a month ago.

With Google and the Nickudu files, anyone can be a literary genious! Or pose as one anyway.

Long live the Nickudu files!!



Canuck

Nick,

Is it this guy...





Sir Wilfred Thesiger, perhaps? Very interesting dude!

Your last clue made it too easy.

Cheers,
Canuck

Thank you Watson, I mean Canuck.
.275 Rigby, eh?

Yep! There's quite a lot about him online if you do a search. Time well spent, imho.

Sir Wilfred Thesiger

Obituary

Thesiger

Damn good show! Actually, I am in awe...

But excuse my ignorance, who was Anne Matthews? She looks like a lady I should like to have a sundowner with...

Regards,
Martin

Marterius,
The late Anne Matthew was the first wife of the renowned elephant hunter Harry Manners and an accomplished hunter, in her own right.
