Mine was a Brno ZP49 which I bought in Nairobi in 1978. I had just started studying spotted hyenas and the darting drugs available at the time were slow to take effect, plus the primitive dart guns hit the animals very hard, causing them to flee for cover, where they would eventually pass out. While searching for unconscious hyenas in thick bush I would come across all sorts of interesting things, like sleeping lions and wide awake buffaloes. Kenya has had draconian gun control ever since the Mau Mau uprising, and the firearms authorities weren't about to give a shaggy American hippy a rifle, but did let me have a shotgun, hence the Brno, which I still have. Years later when I turned to lion conservation and started doing a lot of work on foot, they relented and I got a .470.
Questions about the Brno led me to this site in the 1990's, and its bad influence has led to a modest collection of English doubles, mostly Damascus hammer guns.
