Hope you got the case label I sent you, probably never see another !

You should look at the Charles Eley history.

Hi Phil,

Sorry to disappoint you, but with 2 1/2" chambers this would be a standard game gun. Desirable none the less!

John

That's very kind of you John. I hadn't realised it was anything like that sort of age. I only purchased it on Wednesday. One final question if I may, would it have been a live pigeon gun. Regards, Phil.

Hi Phil, That number would be for 1914-1915, can't more precise than that. John

Hi, I am contacting you on the suggestion of 'Salopian' of Pigeon Watch. I am looking for information on the above serial No 17194. N/E . 2 1/2 chamber. Auto safe. 30, inch barrels. 12, bore. Nitro. Thank you for any information. Kind regards, Phil.

Hi Murray,

Yes, we have a new website, Please join and tell me in the shotgun forum what case label you want. The first camera we used was one of the first digital cameras, only 3 megapixels, so the label you want may not be high resolution.

John

Have you started up again as there appears some doubt by various posts. Should I join would you be able to let me have a copy of a Trade Label you have on your site.This is a genuine enquiry.

I have just tried to check that the link is working, it isn't !
Go to "www.holtsauctioneers.com" and click on "Catalogues" then "Search" then "Archive Catalogues". Enter "Vickers" and hope !

These come on the market from time to time. You might like to search Holts auctions at http://auctions www.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/archivesearch.aspts . They have three pages (including rifles) and give serial numbers and descriptions.

Many thanks John ... very interesting .
I still have about 30 rounds for the .300 .
