    Shes a grouse gun alright... Choked cylinder on the front trigger and 3/4 on the second, for the one that got away...

    She came out to NZ with Mr. great great Grandaddy Pointer, around 1890. The ship stuck rocks not far off the Auckland Islands, and grandpappy Pointer was marooned in a lifeboat with this gun, and a leather belt of ammo (long since disintegrated.) He paddled the lifeboat to shore with this gun, hence the metalworks condition, and remarkably survived for 4 months. He used what remaining ammo he had on the local penguins to start, and when he ran out of ammo, He took to clubbing seals with it, until he was rescued by a passing whaling ship who saw his fires used to cook seals and render their fat.


    Well that's my first bit of bullshit to qualify me for the "brace yourself" thread. To be honest I brought it in Broncos Tauranga last week for $80

    BRACE YO' SELF!

    Pointer I'd give you your $80 just to give the gun back to you! Kicks like a startled cattle beast- literary gold. I laugh at the thought History lesson weren't that bad either. Photo- all class!

    Too right I do Gibo I missed 4 others in the hour I was there. These ones pictured are the most unfortunate pheasants in the BOP to die by antique

    Thanks Tim. Donate my prize to the Auckland Island museum
