Maybe in the case of Robert Lisle. He was only in business from the late 1890's until 1930 which were the golden days of Empire. That tiger must have meant something to him as there certainly aren't many wild tigers in Derby. They were all like this one and crudely engraved with a rather surprised expression. Not a high grade gun by any stretch of the imagination but my collection was lacking an example by this person. I intend to just tidy it up a bit; slight cosmetic things, raise the dents and generally leave it as it is. Lagopus.....
