Any one know what a Remington hepburn would be? I'm weak. Great price at auction. Wrecked my budget for a couple weeks.
No pic probably not appropriate.

 

just googled it
as an aussie, i have fairly strong views on gun laws/controls, but I know we have lots of vintage gun enthusiasts here, so I'm sure pics would be very welcome.

 

I know Remington Steele and Audrey Hepburn. Are you saying they had an illegitimate child?

 

Remington Steele wasn't real you dill, he was a TV character.

Maybe Audrey didn't know that either when she named the father of the unexpected bun in the oven.

 

I forgot to put a winky in there, here you go

 

Back on topic.

I'd love to see some pics. Just make sure you include some horological context

I grew up with guns as a kid in country Aussie. It seemed everybody's Dad back then had a Lee Enfield .303 they "brought back from the war".

As an adult I owned a variety of rifles and guns, all kept on the wall in my study in a house with two young kids, (ammo was in a lock box).

Never had any problems with them, but certain events triggered the pollies into action and over the years some very draconian laws on gun ownership came into being so now, as a law abiding Australian, I don't have any firearms.

Unfortunately, not all of our population are as law abiding as I am.

 

Yes, I understand the figures, and the argument could go on for ages but we've hijacked this thread enough.

Let's get BOT.

 

I am intersted in photos & understanding why this is a grail for Jim.

 

btw, here is another thread on this : http://omegaforums.net/threads/so-any-of-our-members-here-have-an-interest-in-firearms.491/

 

I'll get pictures later. Don't have any next to a watch. The reason this was a grail is I have most of the other makes of single shot rifles for the time period. Late 1800s. They made a small amount of these making them hard to find and expensive.

 

All other things aside - can we agree on Remington Hepburn not being a vintage omega watch topic? There is an open discussion area where it fits perfectly.
