However, I am fortunate enough to own a 16 ga Vickers boxlock, which has become my favorite partridge and woodcock gun for many years now.


I managed to find the reference to Vickers on page 93 . I was expecting an article on the Vickers range of shotguns but in the article “The Trouble With Lions “ A .470 Nitro Express Double Rifle on page 93 the Vickers firm is credited with the production of “ many of the barrels that were used during this time” The article concerns a .470 Double rifle.
