Wasn't DO "Winchester's Man if Africa" for many years promoting the .458 Model 70? I seem to recall an old advertisement in my files stating such.

Yes. And there is a short section on him in Brian Herne's fantastic White Hunters. There is also a picture of him in the book. He was born in India and was a friend of Jim Corbett.

The first posting with the pic is taken from Herne's book. They should have given credit where credit was due.

Some nice follow-up posts.

That's what I have read about him. He favored the Model 70 in .375 H&H. He was featured in several Winchester adds.

Anyone who smokes a pipe must be a good man! I to would be interested in hearing about what happened to him after the bout with the leopard.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;
