Bought my first ever sxs from Bill,back on the old board,
I introduced myself and asked him if he new of a decent vintage gun , for sporting clays...he sold me a superb 1926 32" 12 bore 20e Francotte vent rib pigeon gun, just like in the repro catalog I have.
That led to quite a few emails, I got his hat size n sent him a tweed cap & a couple of found fossils when I was over in Ireland one time, for his mojo bag!
What a pure Gentleman, you'd never guess what he was going through.I think of old Bill quite often, would love to have met the man
