    I have a lovely old Vickers in the back of the safe too, Picked this one up at Teds last auction. The Vickers brand is a bit sentimental for me as my Grandfather flew missions in the Vickers...

    The powder will be cordite, strands of "spaghetti" that fill the case and don't rattle. It is extremely temperature and age stable. The ammunition would be fine to fire but there may be the odd...

    Evening walk with a good mate in North Canterbury hoping for a deer but ended up with three hares. Turned very wet-- great for the farmers. Trophy of a cast antler though, pity its old owner didn't...
