Daryl,

Thank you for your comment. Whilst the order details are a photocopy (courtesy of the gentleman who salvaged Green’s records when the shop closed) I am doubly (or trebly) fortunate in that the Crawshay family kept “ephemera” that many others would have discarded over the years.

Within the case:-



is the original receipt,



(C.F. for centre fire as late as 1895!)

A Lyon and Lyon 12 bore lethal bullet (extracted from a Bear in India)



Green’s bill in 1937 to Tudor’s eldest son Owen for lapping the bores (bear in mind British cartridges still had corrosive primers until the 1930’s or later).



and finally a note by Owen (then about 83) as to the gun being back with Green for nitro proof.
