According to David Dryhurst, this gun was ordered by a Mr Palmer on the 30.9.1889. It is a treble wedgefast action, 34'barrels (M & F)and extra 36' barrels (both open cyl) It was built by amongst their best workers and of very high quality. The gun belonged to a farmer in the Howick, Natal districk in the late 1890's and just before the Boer/Brit War broke out, the gun was confiscated by the then magistrate, a mr Gedue. He liked what he saw and kept the gun for himself. I bought the gun off his great grandson unseen. I actually was told about the guncase, so I bought the case (for R750-00 or $100-00) and got the gun with the case. I have since 'restored' (i.e. cleaned up) the gun and it is quite special. I do have pictures but unfortunately don't know how to post.
