A sad loss indeed. In 1990 I had a rifle that had his stunning work on, which I regretfully sold. I have been unsuccessfully trying to find it for the last 13 years.
RIP.

Very sad news. I have always enjoyed seeing his work. I have a HW35 that has some of his handy work.....Don't think it will ever leave my possession!

Great craftsman and a great loss.
a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

All three of the aforementioned won't easily be forgotten, Danny, as their work lives on.
I was hoping a few more examples of Don's work on Webley air pistols might have appeared on this thread.
