I spotted a Charlin at the Baltimore show last year or the year before, lost track of it, and was chastised by Ortolan when I couldn't locate the person carrying it. I wonder if Rabbit was the person trolling or maybe the ultimate purchaser? I had no idea that the purchase of Ortolan's new 28 gauge Darne came complete with French movies. Oh, it was on HBO! I do an annual review of The Shooting Party but subtitles on the French flick may help me to understand some of the dialogue that my tired ears can't pick up. I can't understand half of what is being said in The Shooting Party, only get enjoyment from the driven bird scenes. By the way, those hammerless guns are all boxlocks.
