    Alexander Henry accidently shot his own son dead in 1860

    Apologies for the tabloid title, but I don't think this has been spotted in my other thread:

    My later father told me about this story, and I have now found the piece in the Scotsman archives on 29/9/1860 - note this was long before the Britishicon Army rifle trials etc.



    The boy was called James.

    How he could pick up another gun after this I don't know.

    Any other references to this gratefully received.
    Richard

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
