Actually yes. The gentleman that bought the rifle used it the following year on a cape buffalo hunt. Hear is a photo of the rifle and the animalFinch Hatton was Isaak Dineson's lover for a long time so that rifle has literary and romantic/erotic connections as well as historic. I'll bet the current owner takes out and fondles it lovingly every now and again.
Thanks for enjoying them. It's nice to know others are nostalgic about this stuff 2That is a mighty fine rifle. Thanks for uploading the pics.
