The gun was proofed and finished in 2010 and was the last gun that Craig Whitsey finished bearing the John Wilkes name. The gun is described and illustrated in Stephen Grist's privately published history of the firm, however it is erroneously described as carrying the number 15384. The gun is actually numbered 15348. |
