We have been watching HBOs new series The Crown Episode 3 scene with a Shooting Party at Lord Mountbattens estate, day after King George's funeral.
Dickie Mountbatten was shooting beside a fellow using a Model 12 with a Cutts Compensator. Looks and words exchanged were priceless. Wont spoil it except to say Dickie stormed off rather than shoot with a Pump.

Well I guess that's why I'm having trouble selling my 1950s vintage Model 12 in excellent condition complete with a Cutts!   Jim

Are you trying to sell it to Lord Mountbatten himself. He was mentioned in shadow in the 1957 movie classic- "The Bridge On The River Kwai" and more recently, shown in character in the action movie with Jason Stathem-- "The Bank Job"-- Dickie- dickie my arse..

In that day and within that class of sportsman, a pump would be poor form.
Lord Mountbatten was and is like many in high politics through history liked and criticized, camps for and against at the time and today.
At his level of politics there are different rules and many critics
He was trusted by many and genuinely loved within the family

My mistake now corrected, its Netflix.
I thought I was going to suffer through it while my wife watched but already 3 shooting scenes, Driven, Rough and Punts after Ducks. African scenery and Treetops lodge too. Attention to detail cars guns airplanes amazing. Read its the most expensive TV series ever.

You should have better faith in my knowledge of history and politics. However, you are entitled to your opinion.

Wasn't Montgomery pretty much envious and jealous of just about everyone?
