An amazing rifle, ca. 1840, well ahead of its time!

I had read about this rifle on the Westley blog. I bet this rifle is worth a fortune to a collector! Have never seen or heard of a Damascus scope until now, and from around 1840 too!!!

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.
What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.
This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.
We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
