    Sorry - try this......http://weaponsman.com/?p=39583

    BTW, the Crimean War had been over for a year before the FIRST Whitworth was trialled by the Army - apart from that, the information is quite useful.

    It would be very heart-warming to know that this pair of ultra-rarities were going to be fired again, since most of the survivors here in UK are in the hands of people who are very determined to keep them shooting. However, I have a feeling that they'll be hidden away for a gloater to foam over, and ne'er be seen again.
