Thanks for the correction Dean,
You are correct on the engraving being Joseph Loy's work, I guess I was confusing him with Jay Leech.
Scott, only one of the Western shells fired for me, and that one had what felt like a 1 second delay, the other few that I tried multiple times, failed to go off. I was suspect of light primer strikes, so I tried a few Eley 2 1/2" that I had on hand and they worked just fine.
Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I have a soft spot for these early Crass guns, on the higher grades, the engraving is just beautiful. Animals look natural and detail is just unbelievable.
