Footnote:- With a solicitor's note stating ''This gun and case was a 21st birthday gift to Edward S Healey (b.1886) in 1907, and was little used by him before the First World War broke out in 1914, when he joined the armed forces. Between 1918 and his death in 1943 he hardly used the gun at all. It was stored away from 1943 and seldom used by Mr. Healey's grandson. He is a solicitor in a Hong Kong and wishes to dispose of his gun mainly because he never has an opportunity to use it''. The present owner/vendor has used it very little.
