The fundraising appeal is as follows:

Hi, my name is Robert Jeffries and I’m looking to raise funds to carry out the restoration work necessary to repair the headstone of my Great grandfather, George Lincoln Jeffries, who was recognised as the person responsible for the invention of the modern day air rifle and hence, on his headstone it states exactly that.

To many enthusiasts, he played a major part in the invention of air rifles and also, a little known fact, shot guns, and, as such, it is important to many that his headstone is repaired so that he is remembered for his designs and innovations for ever.

The estimated cost for the work is £5000.00. Some of the costs will be paid by the Jeffries family but they would welcome donations, small or large, mainly from the shooting fraternity & the enthusiasts who value his input in to their favourite past time.

I hope that you will be able to help?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Kind regards,

Robert Jeffries.
