My Dad gave me a shotgun from Africa (1960) said to be an example of the allowed weapon, used by local hunters. Not a deadly rifled caliber, capable of no more than bird shot. It is a .410 muzzleloader percussion cap shotgun, beautifully carved in relief of African animals on it’s stock.
I have started up the google machine - to no satisfaction. The result from my many search engine investigations, are always offering Safari related inquiry. I am hope to know the culture of these people under German Imperialism. And, how this gun fits the life of local hunters. Not white men
If you can send me in the right direction, or willing to write back, I would love hearing from you.
I am isolated in Cedar Michigan
with an endless curiosity, hoping to know more about our world.
Thank You,
Dan

Welcome aboard.
There is ample literature covering exactly what you are looking for, actually an even wider range, going from the last 1850's to today. Too many titles to cover here, but I would recommend Amazon and eBay, searching for "Africa Hunting books" and "Africa Safari books". Another good place is Safari Press.
Some out of print classics can be frighteningly expensive ($1,000+) but you will also be amazed at the number of classic reprints and modern books in the $30 range.
In terms of authors and iconic titles, you can start with W.D.M. Bell (Wandering of an Elephant Hunter) to get a sense of 1900's safaris; with J. Hunter (Hunter) and with R. Ruark (Horn of the Hunter) to get a sense of 1950's safaris from a client's and a professional hunter's perspective; and the list goes on...
A great collection, if the history of hunting is what interests you most, is the Peter Capstick collection. For example, there is this on eBay right now. I would highly recommend these books...
Enjoy, and welcome to the club. Fair warning: this is addictive

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
