Diggory, just got my copy of the book and had a skim through it. Seems a shame to start looking through such an excellent book for faults. But, as you ask; page 169 you talk about the Eley Grand Prix cartridge as having one ounce of shot but the GP has 1 1/16th. or 1 1/8th. ounce. Page 184 you say that the name Avant Tout on that model was used from 1896 whereas my particular one has the Avant Tout name on the top rib and is dated 1892.
I will keep digging and delving into the book as it is most interesting. I think you have done an excellent job in raising the profile of the British boxlock. I've just put an offer in on a nice Roland Watson 12 bore BLNE in good condition with game scene engraving. We'll see what happens. Also had a look at a nice cased W.J.Jeffrey 12 bore BLE with extra barrels by the maker 30 inch with different chokings; one fairly open and the others a bit tighter. Made by Daniel Leonard with the scroll back action. I think that someone has polished the barrels out to the limit and my guages show both to be out. So close that I think if stuck in the freezer they would be 'in' and warmed up they would be 'out'. No offer on those; pity. well done. Lagopus.....
