We held our first ever open Vintagers, which also incorporated out Perrins Owners Club Meet, at my shooting ground yesterday. We had a great turnout with people travelling from the furthest parts of England and Wales to be part of the day. I will post photos for you Damascusholics later. In the mean time here is a wonderful old pin fire. Now I am not up on pin fires but this one looked a bit special. As you see barrels slide forward but the interesting feature is that the hammers have holes in them that act as extractors clever!!.

The gun is a 12 bore by John Lyell
