Introducing the November Issue

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

Our annual shoot party is about to get underway. Guests this year come from the USA and Canada and we are hoping for drier weather than last year, which happened in the middle of a storm cycle.

I'm busy uploading new inventory, with a handful of good Purdeys just arrived, as well as all kinds of things; from a neat 28-bore hammer gun to an almost unused Asprey 12-bore sidelock ejector.

I was sad to hear of the death of Danny McCallum in October. We hunted with him in Tanzania a decade ago and he was a great story-teller and professional hunter of the old school, having gained his licence in 1968.

Keep an eye on auctions this month from Holt's and Gavin Gardiner, as well as Harper Field.

As always, thank you for reading the VGJ .
