Provenance: The makers have kindly confirmed that this gun was ordered on April 25th, 1895, as No.3 of a trio by R.H. Rimington-Wilson.
Reginald Henry Rimington-Wilson (1852 - 1927) gained the rank of officer in the service of the Iniskilling Dragoons, and was a keen explorer who had to have frozen toes amputated during an expedition through the Far East in 1880.
On the 12th August 1913, with a party that boasted Major Arthur Aclan-Hood and Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey, he was on Broomhead Moor where they bagged an impressive 2,843 grouse.
