I pulled out my file on British doubles, and his article is the first one I find. I remembered his article when I bought a Webley & Scott Model 400 Grade 1 from George Caswell and was looking for more information on the screw grip. A good friend still owns that gun.

I always enjoyed his and Murray Mitchell's - Bwana Samaki - articles in the old ASJ when I was younger. I think he may be still going strong under another name, writing of guns, planes, cars etc on a blog of his own.
