Thank you Gary, please keep me in mind if he ever decides to make some again

All best

Myself as well. Thanks for trying.

Jim is a good friend of mine and I have seen all his labels. They are made in exactly the same manner as original labels - gold leaf on leather. It's hard to describe the quality. Here is a high resolution photo of Jim's H&H label right beside the corresponding "original" label in my gun case (1901 H&H .303 hammer double rifle). (Jim's is on the left.)

Note: my label is from 1901. It's the "King of Italy" label. Jim's label is the later "King George V" label. Nonetheless, his is exact.



If you right click on the photo and select "Open image in a new tab" you will get the full resolution picture.

Here is a head-to-head comparison of my vintage Greener label (on left) to Jim's Greener label.

This fellow has written a book on Henry which will be out soon. I am awaiting notification from him when it is ready. He works for Dickson of Edinburgh who took over the Henry name. He may have access to some originals via Dicksons. http://donalddallas.com/ Lagopus.....

I won this along with three others last week at auction. Price on the labels was not bad but shipping was brutal.

Would you like to sell it Steve?......just let me know the price

Thanks
C.J.

CJ,
That and three from other makers should come in a shipment I have planned for mid-summer. Once it arrives I will let you know. If I decide to sell you have first right of refusal.
Steve

Thank you
