Dr Sampson was a true gentleman. He was friends with Wayne Eikenberry and Chuck Swinehart. Chuck sold his huge collection of big bore English double rifles a few years ago in the Julia Auctions. I ended up with the .577 BPE Alex Henry double rifle made for the Maharaja of Pattiala that Lanny owned and was sold in the auction. He told me one time that he was building his gun collection for his retirement, sadly he died fairly young! If I remember right, a lot of his stuff went very cheap in the auction! He was extremely knowledgeable in many different types of rifles and shotguns!
