Amazing man and amazing rifle. I do not recall him in Brian Herne's book. I must check. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

My father-in-law had a Watson Bros shotgun but when his doctor said using it was sending him deaf, he sold it and only used a pea-rifle after that. Unfortunately, this was before my time so I could not have made him an offer for it. | |||

Watson Bros made wonderful rifles. I just took a deposit on my Watson .500, Jack Lott's rifle. Sad to let it go but I have too much stuff, getting old, and no family or heirs.

I've shot my Watson 450 BPE enough that it's needed a new hinge pin. It is in a similar condition to the OP rifle and I've had it for nearly 40 years so I know it's a good one. | |||

Not Scottish? For shame. I have been meaning to give you a call, for no particular reason, just to catch up. Get that Manton up and belching smoke and fire yet? | |||

Danny is not in White Hunters, although a picture of his father, Owen is in Herne’s Tanzania Safaris. I have a full-frame copy of the picture from Herne’s book (and another with clients and a big bull ele) I got from a defunct archive in India. Owen died young of colon cancer, I believe. He was reputed to be an incredible shot. That Danny apprenticed under Glen Cottar is amazing. The Cottars are flat-out legends. Good stuff | |||
