Fascinating Danny.
It just shows how new discoveries about our sport's history and heritage are being made all the time.

Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
Wow !!
What a lovely unusual gun.
Thank you for showing.

that is very nice
Apparently the owner of Ovington Motor Co was Earl L Ovington , an interesting character. He was an engineer and innovator whose business sold FN motorbikes; he was the first US air mail flyer, and used his own modified Bleriot monoplane - all before the first War.
I wonder if that rifle was one intended to be given away to as a "Come-on" to purchasers of the very expensive bikes.
