I have just received a Thomas Wild 12 bore hammergun, lovingly restored by Tony (Ballistix999). Just beautiful elegant, slim, delicate, very nice new CCH and refinished wood. see Tony's website
Took her skeet shooting today and shot by far the best round of my life. I am deeply in love. Thank you, Tony!

You can't imagine how that makes me feel. I'm really pleased you like her. Enjoy the gun! I have a few more that have to go to homes just like this one.

Regards, and my pleasure Laurence.

Regards,
Tony

Shoot the Thomas Wild hammergun in good health Laurence.

Tony seems to enjoy putting these old guns back in working order and into the hands of folk who enjoy shooting them. smile

Tony nice job of putting her back in order or as you say doing a " sympathetic restoration". You have my compliments for a job well done.

Good Shooting

Thanks Birdog.

The Wild records were lost in the second world war. We think around 1885-1890.
Cheers
