Shipping them BACK to England. That means something, I'm not sure what?? The collection that Dig has consigned to him is from an estate on the East Coast of the U.S. They are all pre-1898 English guns........George I was with Diggory Hadoke yesterday here in Columbia and he made no mention of any furthur sale. He had taken on consignment a collection of very rare double rifles and sporting guns and is preparing to have them shipped back to England. We talked about the possibility of him returning for the Southern. His business card reads: "ATKIN GRANT & LANG MAKERS OF BEST QUALITY BREECH LOADING GUNS & RIFLES Diggory Hadoke Mobile 07977 149207,etc" His e-mail is dig@vintage guns.co.uk Web: www.atkingrantandlang.co.ukBest Regards, George

Patience, gentlemen, patience. A proper explaination is likely to be forthcoming in a few days. Dig is currently busier than a bat in a mosquito swarm; kindly give him a bit of breathing room.

I doubt Dig did anything questionabl.e Not having met the man but having read his work and heard of his dealings, I would give him the beneift of the doubt until the facts , if there are any appear. May be much ado about nothing!!

Gentlemen,
Today I returned my Registered Firearms Dealers Certificate to Hertfordshire police. I have written to Companies House to resign as a Director of Henry Atkin Gunmakers Ltd (T/A Atkin, Grant & Lang). I have instructed the accountants to remove my name as the sole shareholder in Henry Atkin Gunmakers Ltd.
The sale of the company was not completed by the vendor by the deadline set. Therefore, I and my backers had to withdrew from the deal. I will not go into more details, as I'm sure all of you with a business background will understand.
As of today, Atkin Grant & Lang have no license to trade as firearms dealers, the doors are closed and trading has ceased.
I have reverted to my RFD with the Metropolitan Police and will continue to trade as Vintage Guns. It has been a sad setback but we regroup and move on.

Hello Dig: From what I can tell of it you are well out of it. Such a shame for a fine old name(s) I hope that you make it to the Southern.
Best Regards, George

Thanks for setting things straight Diggory. Sounds like bad luck for the gun trade as a whole. No doubt see you on the usual stand at the game fairs. All the best. Lagopus.....
