Fred-
You might notice on the auction page I popped the question as to where in the state the guy is, asking if I can just come and pick them up.
Roy-
Will you please copy me on your imformation source?
I'd like to see the documents you have on the Eley cartridges.
Also, as noted, my gun uses an external ignition system.
Lee, Pete-
A DGJ article would be fun, but at least a year out from my end.
I'm currently in a holding pattern with them on the topic of my Signed, Addressed Lefaucheux 28b high grade pinfire shotgun.
Gotta get that 'parker invented the 28b' story set straight!
Mr Petrov-
Anything you can come up with on that Scottish cartridge would be appreciated. Do you have any lingering association with the gentlemen of the cartridge collector's group?
TW-
I really am highly enthusiastic about the era around the development of the cartridge, especially the things that were happening between about 1825 and 1880.
This gun is one of my favorites, not only due to it's unique system and the beautiful work that went into it, but also because it's so slender, lively, and handy.
