This is a scene from the "Shooting Party" overall they did get the guns right. The requirement for James Masons character was the type of quality gun that would be used by an elderly and wealthy large land owning gentleman. The gun he is holding but never shot in the film is an early Purdey Bar in Wood thumb leaver opener. It was decided that even with assurance from the Birmingham Proof House that the one hundred plus year old gun was quit safe for use. The gun in question was borrowed from me via a friend who was in the gun trade and furnished other guns to the films Armorer.
