[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2898180, member: 87371"] One additional part of the story: later that year Jon told me there was a double rifle for sale at the gun store in Tanga, a coastal town 100 miles north of Dar. I belonged to the local flying club, so I rented one of their planes and flew north to Tanga to look at it. It was an Army & Navy double rifle in .450 Nitro express. Jon carried one just like it in his daily job, and when we looked at the one for sale in Tanga, we discovered it had the next serial number from Jon's -- they were a consecutive pair!. Again, I applied, skeptical that the government would issue another license. Alas, the license came through, and I flew north a second time and bought the double. Right around $400, and I eventually used it on Cape buffalo and elephant, with Jon carrying his .450 NE right next to me in case things did not go as planned. Good times. [/QUOTE]
