Great post, Mel, and great pair, ddb!

Teba jacket are well known in the universal men's fashion and count Teba is a referent for many hunters. I read that his mother gave him a pair of 16ga Puerdey's at the age of majority.

Legend tells that he was able to hold six dead partridges in the air in partridge shooting: two from the front, two from above (King shot) and two backwards.

Enjoy this beautiful.410 pair and may be never knows what means "CONDE" in them. A mystery!

28 ga, hammerguns and all shotguns and rifles made by hands.

wow, love the history and that someone here can fill us in. Can I guess your shooting friend was the great Cyril Adams?

No, it was not Cyril..... I started shooting Pigeons abroad several years before Cyril ventured over the water for a go at it.

Interestingly, when Cyril was writing his great history of the sport, he asked me about several of the older shooters I knew, among them Count Teba.
Impossible to find a detractor when asking about Teba, universally regarded by Spaniards and foreign nationals alike, as the consummate GENTLEMAN, in the Ring and the Field.
