Today I received the excellent news that the Whiscombe 65 scrapper sold by Holts in June of last year is now fully resurrected to, as my friend Charlie put it, is in stunning condition and a real treat to behold.
It now sits in a thumbhole stock believed to be by Dave Welham, and I am informed shoots brilliantly.
It had to have parts rebuilt and a new barrel was required, the new barrel is aSteyr, a first for a Whiscombe.
I look forward to seeing it in the flesh. Since Charlie is not a member of this forum I am passing on the good news for him.
