Thank you so much for all your advice, Gentlemen!

I am a hunting outfitter based out of Durban, South Africa which makes it convenient for me to go and take a look at this weapon. The owner has indicated that he may take in the region of R15 000(+-US$1200/BPS900). It seems clear(as per your valued advice) that the weapon needs to be inspected by a good gunsmith, particularly for pits/ dents in the barrel.

Tim, I know (Alan) Henry very well and have bought many weapons from him. The gun is currently at another store, but I may take it to Alan to look at.

Thank you all once again, good to be part of your Board.

Andy
