Unfortunately I have no pics of this gun anymore, the fences were unique in the fact they were shaped like the torpedo cones that pop-singer Madonna is known to have worn on her chest.

Here's the ledger page that Peter Powell of Wm. Powell & Son had copied from their original ledger book and sent me. I cropped out a few other entries that are listed on the same ledger page.
