This gentleman's son or grandson survived the sinking of the Titanic. He was also a professional tennis player.

I'm hoping to see a real nice 10g Scott Premier hammergun in a few weeks. I'll get some pics of it next to mine (a 12) to show the difference.
BTW: If you know of any 19th Century Scott Premiers on the market on the market, or of any other high-condition 19th century Scotts for sale, please let me know.
Thanks
