I have just acquired a single barrel 28 gauge shotgun which was made for W Rawbone of Cape Town. I have tried looking for similar guns on the Web but cannot find any. I was just wanting for information about this gun. Who might of made it, how old etc. Not sure how to add a photo as this may help?

Photos are a necessity. Include pics of any marks anywhere on the gun.

To upload pictures.

Have the BBS window open with the post you'd like to put the pic into.

Open up jpgbox "submit an image" in another window. Click on "choose file", the screen will switch to your photo library. Click on the pic you want to upload.

The screen will change back, the pic address will show where the
"choose file" box was. At the bottom, click "upload photo", the screen will change and your pic will appear. Now, I always go to the picture sizes and click on the largest size. The screen will change again.

To post your pic, go to the box labeled " for forums" and copy and paste this info right into the BBS box you have open in the other window. That's it.


I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

The name Rawbone of Cape Town struck a chord with me, just couldn't remember where at first. Finally I remembered, many many years ago I saw a 4 gauge double muzzleloading rifle with that name on it. I don't recall any details about it now but that name Rawbone just sort of stuck in my memory.
Turner Kirkland of Dixie Gunworks had it, has been around 45 years ago that I saw it. I seem to recall he carried it on Safari & shot an Elephant with it.

Google "Jpgbox", one of the results will say " JPGBOX, Submit an image"

I hope this works, seems very complicated, not sure why you can't just upload straight from your device?

The Rawbone name is owned by Terry Harrison, formerly of City Guns in Cape Town. Believe Terry has Rawbone records. Try to email mharri@mweb.co.za If that does not work, perhaps being the email of Terry's late brother, Mark, PM me and I'll pass along a phone number.

Let me try to help. the basic format for something/someplace on the web is an address that begins http:// followed by the rest of the address ( http://tntfiles.com/08ii752pjn/dsc-0095.jpg ). it must be complete syntax and not duplicated as per your initial try.

The forum tag code works in matched pairs with a Begin Tag [...] and an End Tag [/...] the object or text that is controlled by those tags sits between them.
The begin and end image tags [img] ...........{/img] with that same web address in between is the normal way to embed them but the address code given on your web hosted pictures is a bit odd. I will copy and paste the forum display code that they provide. It seems to display a thumbnail image that will open a new window with the larger one when you click on it like this........




to try the normal way; go to the display of the image on your picture hosting site. Hover the mouse over the image there, right click and choose "copy image location" from the drop down menu. Then paste that into the image tags [img}..here...[/img].

you can do that paste image tag manually or click on the "enter an image" button from the top of the forum editor box to have the software create the tags for you.
