Hi Toby,

What do you know of these type of trigger guards? I have heard lots of interesting speculation on the reason for the shape.

About 20 years ago, I worked on a pair of Purdey SLE's with these type of guards, they were also an original European order. I was told by the owner they were shaped like that so that they butted up against a stop in a long holster sleeve whilst on a horse?

Anyone else have the definitive reason behind this shape? Would love to put the guessing to rest.

Regards
