It's very good to include Longthorne in the narrative history of engraving.
Great intro music, reminds me of vintage British Pathe newsreels!
Excellent, please highlight Boss guns in the future
Fascinating
Something more about the history of the Phoenix Gun.
Hallo sir you make a too much Good and knowledgeable video ......please Uplod your new Video ........
I feel that it may be timely to point out that all so often, and as our eye is instinctively drawn to the engraving, we do need to bear in mind that ornate and often ostentatious engraving, is used to cover flaws and errors of manufacture.
H.J.Hussey, a man of considerable skill, often supplied his guns with the barest minimum of engraving, and as The Watts gun in Gavin's informative piece, the maker concentrated on the standard of his workmanship and a great many of these guns should really demand a premium, such is the quality of the gun itself.
As we age, our tastes are perhaps redefined and I'm finding some of the early and relatively plain work, or those game scenes which are often described as being 'naive', of ever greater charm, and of the time. I'm also acquiring an aversion to the practice of applying lip-stick to a pig, but that's another matter!
Another excellent short film from Gavin Gardiner showing the different aspects to what makes a gun.
