Extraordinary work, John! Congratulations on another amazing reproduction. At this rate you'll be known as the Great Airgun Animator, turning two dimensional drawings into three dimensional works of art.

If you ever run out of British designs, there are some interesting American ones.

Incredible work. You must have tremendous patience in addition to your obvious skills. Here is a photo of a Hill and Williams rifle that you mentioned. Unfortunately not mine.

That’s a thing of beauty.
Amazing work John, it looks like a production model. The lettering is a nice touch.
how long do you think it took to do it?
Matt.

Very true Dean, and top of my list would be the Haviland & Gunn 1881 patent for the very first breakbarrrel airgun of any kind. However there are two remaining British patents I want to tackle first (I have already started one). As long as I find the work enjoyable and the athritis doesn't play up too much, I will keep working through my bucket list
I suppose this one was spread over about 3-4 months. When I start one of these projects I have no idea how long they may take, as I tend to dip in and out of them depending on other commitments and how the mood takes me. It helps to keep me busy in retirement.
I have finished testing the gun against a Webley Mark 1 of the same period and I am putting together a summary of the results which I will post here soon.
For those interested in the DIY aspects I will also put together an illustrated summary of the trials and tribulations of making the pistol, as a separate post.

How dare you compare yourself with Time team? They don't mess about for months, 3 days is always just enough.
But seriously, excellent work and I look forward to seeing the next.
