The pics

Hi Mervyn, thanks for the welcome. I have taken holidays in SA in 96, 98 and 2000, each time for a period of 7 weeks. My ex wife has relations in the Pinetown area we used to visit. We always stayed at the Bermudas on Lagoon drive Umhlanga Rocks for 2 weeks at each visit. I must confess that at first I didn't want to go to SA because of the political situation, however within 3 days I had fallen in love with the country and the way and standard of life and I seriously considered retiring there. Anyway as the saying goes "life is what happens when you are making other plans", so here I am retired in the UK. I'll post a couple of pics of my martini shortly

I live in the UK. I have a MH marked ZAR number 4672. It has been refinished at some time but other than that it is original with no alterations. There is no indication of date or of manufacturer. The left hand side of the butt and forend are stamped JEO. The other markings seem to be the crossed flags for the blackpowder proofing. As an aside I have had the rifle nitro proofed so that it complies with the insurance requirements when using smokeless loads on Brirish ranges. Any information would be most welcome. Thanks, Pete.
