That's some good shooting there.
Your Britannia looks absolutely superb - is that the original finish?
The other question I have concerns your pellet loader...what is that gizmo?
Hi,
I think it’s probably a very old re-finish, but there’s no wear and looks and feels like it was made yesterday.

I understand it may have spent a large portion of its life on display in a big country house alongside a shotgun collection, so I like to think maybe it got sent off for refurbishing along with the shotguns at some point, but it doesn’t really matter.
Crazy condition for something that old really, I’m just happy to have it.

The Gizmo is a Diana Pellet pen. I bought it specifically for that rifle so I could load it with gloves on. Turns out they are perfect for breakbarrels and tap loaders too so I always use them for vintage rifles.
