I once had a well aerated Boss gun built in 1861 as a pinfire and converted to centerfire. I was built for a clergyman who happened to be a younger son of some high ranking muckity-muck who owned Harewood House and was Earl of Harewood. Google Harewood House; it makes Downton Abbey look like a hovel. The clergyman was a high ranking official at Ripon cathedral. We once had a thread on that gun here where one of our foremost weapons experts called my gun a tomato stake...Geo
The Earl of Harewood was one of the governors of the school I went to in nearby Knaresborough in the 1960s and gave the prizes out on speech day each year. A very friendly chap who loved to talk shooting and ferreting with eager schoolboys. As we say here, no side to him at all.
