Well blow me down. A tooth on a swivel arm. It looked like a big sharks tooth to me.

Regardless of what you shoot out of it that gun is a bitch to shoot!

I have been delving into this box of papers of Bill Axbey's who wrote extensively about the NZ elephant hunter Deaf Banks.

There are letters from University's, Museums in both Africa Europe and Britain. Copies of Banks Letters that Bill says were trotted half way the length of Africa in a cleft stick. Photos, maps letters from school friends and his old school. Photos and sales brochures of guns of the trade and all that stuff.

Banks fought in Africa in the First World War. Besides the tally he may have acquired in this conflict, Banks when interviewed said he had shot around 3000 elephants. That is one hell of a lot of elephants. I have worked with a few shooters that have shot that many deer and I know that is a hell of a lot of deer.
