Ken,
Yes, J-P provided the narrative. If I remember it was not all that expensive and you have to be an Owners Club member.

We met J-P at the Southern a couple of years ago and had a good conversation with him. He supplied the record for my round action, and also gave me what information he had about my 28 bore boxlock. Between what he told me about the 28 and the information that Jack Rowe knew of it (because of his knowledge of the maker of the gun for Dickson), I have a pretty good record of both guns. As already posted, it's really nice to have some sense of the history of your gun, one that you can add to with your own use.
(Ken, BTW, I'm not sure if Charles Gordon is a distant relative, but the Duke of Gordon is. Nice to keep the dogs in the family)

Amen to that! (And a Dickson will also look good with a "Red and Black" brace.)

I have the KELL engraved Dickson (On their web site) arriving here soon. It also will be hunting along side a Gordon.

Richard,
It looks like a very nicely done Dickson. Hope you enjoy it and take it out. Ken |

Dean, I add my apologies to those offered by Ken. You started a nice line, though. Thanks.
