I have seen these on quite a number of British firearms brought here to Canada by Brits retreating from the disintegration of the "Raj". In fact, an older collector I know well, had a Gibbs Farquharson with these in .461 Metford and this rifle actually DID belong to Frederick Selous and he had the provenance to prove this. I think that this rifle was featured in an article in DGJ last summer, but, it may not have been the same one, I did not get to read the article, only had a quick glimpse of it.
When I was young, in the '50s and '60s, there were dozens of these fine British guns around B.C., then the Yanks got enthusiastic about them and now, even a junker is worth big bucks....at least to some people.
