OK... Not a gun photo but, a neat item. This is a 1960's era Britsh made pocket watch. The woodcock between the four and the five rocks back and forth with each second... sorry had to have it....

Very nice

Thanks, was trying to figure out why the Brits were making a watch for an American Gun in the 60's when the gun itself was not manufactured in decades?

looks a little like a previous thread topic watch -

but the rocking woodcock is a nice touch

Whoever is making these watches up is getting more elaborate as time goes by. I don't think they're from the 60's unless it's just the case and movement, I think the dials are being worked up as they're being sold.

Can we get a shot of the movement? This might help shine some light on the origin.

The particular watch that I aquired is made in England. Notice on the front of the dial. It was also shipped to me from a watch collector in England who said it was from the 1960's Hope this helps. I will see if I can get a pic. of the movement. I thought it had a neat movement and had to have it....
