Ok. What is the latest method to post pics? The JPEG converter no longer works.

Thanks

That drawer has a 3 Iron and a 4 Iron Damascus Demonstration rod. Any idea of the sources?

That drawer would be a Christmas box I’d love to open.

both the 3 rod and 4 rod are some of the best pictoral examples of a damascus demonstration rod I have ever seen. Explains it all in one picture from start to completion. That alone is well worth the price of the box of curios.

Mills, a few weeks ago I had issues with jpgbox. Due to size limitations of file size that can be used at that site, but even when all is well at jpgbox, I'd have to reduce size using:

Once savedin lunapic, I'd use the saved result in jpgbox. However, I recently noticed in lunapic that once the image is saved, it offers a forum usage link to imgur which cuts down steps necessary to post here. Gil

i'd enjoy fondling that dickson action body down in the lower left corner.....aw well, doesn't hurt to wish....

best regards,

another idle curiosity question, gentlemen.....the dickson action body in the drawer full of exotic goodies has two small diameter holes just below the flats, and maybe an inch apart - what function do those holes/pins provide?

i have stumbled upon another scottish gun photo....a bothwell gun with holes that appear similar, https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=549131#Post549131

have never seen (or perhaps noticed) whose penetrations before now....is this a scottish peculiarity?

best regards,
tom

GB,

Those holes are for the ejector timing screws. The engraving (i.e., block letters with John Dickson and Son Patent) dates the action to 1898-1899.

There was so much vintage décolletage in Grants drawer, that I was bumfuzzled, maybe flummoxed, or possibly verklempt.

My guns wouldn’t even qualify as tomato stakes compared to what he has in there.
