George!

mrkirker · 09-25-2009, 11:54 AM

This particular example is in .450 calibre.

21bravo · 09-25-2009, 12:08 PM

is it a british "bulldog" ?

edit: more than likely not... the barrel is too long

mrkirker · 09-25-2009, 12:10 PM

British, it is. But not a Bulldog.

I guess that makes TWO fine engraved pocket Tranter's on the forum!! Sorry GN, I beat you to it.

TranterUK · 09-25-2009, 02:49 PM

Nice gun, I know a guy who actually owned the firm for a couple of years. Oh, that would be me!

mrkirker · 09-25-2009, 03:05 PM

Ahh, however your product had advanced a bit from the example 'offered' in Texas!

kutaho · 09-25-2009, 03:43 PM

dollar short and a day late

TranterUK · 09-25-2009, 04:53 PM

Indeed kutaho, story of much of my life. No complaints though. Not when I just seen a 19 year old Para back from Afghanistan minus both legs and an arm. All he wanted was to get back to the fight with his mates. Made of the right stuff in my book.

Tom Militano · 09-25-2009, 05:40 PM

Yes Tranter, he sounds like a man I'd want covering my back.

A man of honor, and the stuff 'heroes' are made of.

A Man of Duty

Charlie the sniper · 09-27-2009, 01:18 PM

Tranter, I also watched "wounded", what a fantastic documentary. That Para (19) is a real hero, my step daughter cried all the way through it.
