re: Follow up... The bespoke double rifle...

Thanks for sharing the pictures. That's very impressive. Have seen some of those big game rifles on display at Cabelas in Dallas. Only other times was when watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom or a movie like King Solomon's Mines.



Stewart Granger really did that kind of hunting and the rifle in the above picture was real.

August 14, 2013 STEWART GRANGER and his .577's Stewart Granger had 2 Westley Richards 577's. The rifle shown above was made originally in 1923 for Count Alfred Potocki whose uncle Joseph, was author of the very rare and desirable book 'Sport in Somaliland'. The rifle in the picture with Granger is a 577 'White Hunter' model which he bought from us on his completion of filming King Solomon's Mines. The gold inlaid animal heads which were inlaid at Granger's request represent the game he shot during his trips to Africa, the c represented 'charged'!

There's a nice color picture of his broken down Wesley Richards 577 White Hunter model in the article.
