Posted by Lydia Unwin on
The rifle used by Jim Corbett, owned by Rigby & Co. It was a .275 Mauser presented to him in 1907 for killing the Champawat man-eater. A fascinating memento of an extraordinary man, as documented in Hero of Kumaon by Duff Hart-Davis.

Back by popular demand in paperback: Confessions of a Shooting Fishing Man
Throughout 1995, Laurence's diary records his hopes of buying some precipitous shooting ground in the Pennines, his fishing days on the Eden, Wharfe and other rivers, the arrival of a second gundog and days spent together on shoots. All this activity is interspersed with Laurence's quest for his true motives in killing what he most loves. He looks at foxhunting, vegetarianism, man as a hunter, man as created in God's image and man as a creature doomed, himself, to die.
This diary remains highly topical, thought-provoking and original. Its tone is also very human and it comes from the pen of a true nature-lover.
