In a way I feel it is appropriate, that as we publish our second edition of the Bicentenary book, we are also in a position to finally deliver our Bicentenary 'Ovundo'! This is gunmaking deliveries at their very swiftest! I regret, I can't actually remember if this gun ever had a remote chance of making the Bicentenary year, if it did it has certainly failed miserably!
With that admission made, I would like to thank the client both for his most generous commission and also for his patience whilst we made the gun, I know his fuel bill for visits during the period were huge that I even, at one point, offered him an apron and full access to the workshops to supervise the job!
The 'Ovundo' is a special gun for us and we only 'give one out' very rarely. The gun is a hand detachable lock, single selective trigger gun which has been engraved by Paul Chung.

Ohhh, if only I could say “I will have a matched pair please, in 12 bore”………this is gun making of the absolute finest quality, all the craftsmen (and ladies) are to be warmly congratulated.

This is a beautiful gun. I have always loved the over/under having grown up with them as an American. This is the most wonderful example I have seen to date. Tell Mr Chung he is wildly talented! I hope it’s fitted in an equally wonderful case!

Stunningly beautiful gun! The black mineral streaking looks wonderful with the black engraving background. The colors in this gun are about as good as it can get and the gold lettering and WR banner set it off. The snipe/woodcock is marvelously done and I like the single line border forward of the forend latch. It really adds to that part of the gun. Great result for all involved.
