Well here is a lark from left field!
I am just wondering if in the big scheme of things if Holland & Holland still had the patent rites to the Sniper T configuration and that if so then in copying that configuration and on selling it as a bona fife T infringes on that copyright. Not that H&H would worry about a small fry like this bloke.
Or are there no patent rites to the said configuration due to war time expediencies.....Just a thought!
