Dug this one up from my archives!
About 35 years ago I was asked if I could make a matched pair of 4 Bore Ball Moulds.
The brief was that they should fit the 2 cased Double Barrel Rifles, have consecutive serial numbers engraved on them as well as the makers name which was Rhodda.
I spent quite a few hours on these and inlaid the engraving with Silver and when they were blued in salts looked rather impressive.
Imagine pulling BOTH triggers at the same time and pushing 1/2lb. of Lead up the Barrels!!!!!
Alas my filing days are over as is my eyesight but may be of interest to the Members.
The Dollar and 50 Pence piece give you an idea of the size of these two Moulds!
