So while at the DSC convention this year I picked up two really cool items! Or at least I think they are?
A Sterling Silver flask by Westley Richards! Very cool! The nicest hip flask I have ever seen!!!
Though I’m not sure of the practicality as all the small scratches that you see in it were just by trying to take finger prints off with an eye glass cloth! It’s a flask who cares right lol

But the big find for me was the Ashtray! Holland & Holland had requested an ashtray to be made for them by Limoges…
Limoges made them one by the artist shown on the backside of the ashtray and it’s gilded in gold and numbered!
Holland & Holland agreed to have Limoges make them a very small, limited numbered addition of these ashtrays and brought the first one to DSC to show them off!
Well after antagonizing the H&H VP of NA he sold me this one off, prototype tray! Don’t ask me how much lol But it is like their firearms a work of art!!!
As You can see #1!

well who knows in a few more years they might be worth so much more!!!
 
Where on earth was there a booth selling cool things like that?
 
Yes, where was that? I did not see any ash trays. That is an excellent find. I am very jealous.

The ashtray was in the glass case in Holland & Holland’s booth and the flask was also in the the glass case in Westley Richard’s booth

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
