Provenance: The Vendor, Mr Béla Hidvégi has kindly confirmed to us that he had the guns made for him in 1989, having chosen the stock blanks some 10 years previously. Since delivery he has only shot the guns once, preferring the added weight of his trusted 12-bore (with which has shot in excess of 500,000 cartridges).
Béla Hidvégi, international hunter and businessman has published three books: "Hunting Dreams", "As a Hunter on the Peaks" and "The Edge of the Cliff" and has also produced three films: " I had a Dream", "My Mountain hunts", "On Top of the World" and a documentary film "From the Wild to the Museum".
