Another excellent Simon Clode photo. This time it shows all the component parts that go to make up a Westley Richards droplock; a 28g in this example.

And here is a fine example of best quality Ken Hunt engraving on a James Purdey.

Jay, I too am lucky to own and shoot a Hussey Imperial Ejector. Beautiful guns and deadly on clays and feathers. Mine has a diamond grip and it feels just right in the hand. Very underrated guns in my opinion. Good shooting with yours!

Eric,

Fine guns, indeed. I have two. One in fine original condition the other (with the inlaid gold) had been sleeved and received a butt transplant and now has dimensions identical to the original one. Unfortunately the have spoiled my affinity to Parkers and pretty much every other shotgun I own.

A friend has one of those Imperial Ejectors and I join the chorus immediately upthread. He loaned it to me for a round of trap the other week and, well, it was a real pleasure to handle and even more one to shoot.

Shh! Don't let everyone know, they'll all want a Hussey!

One of the underrated best London gun makers from the golden era of 1890 to 1914. HJ has received a bad press as a businessman but there is no doubting his ability as an especially fine master gun maker. His son HH was in the same mould too.

My great-grandmother's last name was Hussey and when I started looking for an English SLE I learned about HJ and his guns. After a few years searching I found a HJH that was exactly what I was looking for and another one that was in need of a little tlc. Now trying to research the history of the top gun via the family crest engraved in the brass oval.

MacNaughton of Edinburgh. Always turned out a gun of beauty.
