Introducing the February Issue

Welcome to The Vintage Gun Journal, your free-to-view monthly magazine for all things British gun and rifle.

The last day of the season had me walking the hedgerows and gulleys with all four dogs as we tried to bag a few stragglers on our little Clun valley shoot.

Worm made her first proper retrieve! A hen bird that fell seventy yards away in a turnip field. She found it, collected it and brought it to hand nicely.

Until now, the feathers had distracted her when she tried to pick-up a fresh bird. I think she has worked it out now.

This month, we have the British Shooting Show to attend before I fly to SCI a couple of days later.

Auction catalogues are filling up. Check-out Harper Field for some good kit. Holt's will not be far behind.

I'm currently busy researching Mauser C96 sales from Westley Richards to Rigby between 1899 and 1905.

As always, thank you for reading the VGJ and I hope to meet some of you at Safari Club International in Nashville this month.
