Description: PETER HATHAWAY CAPSTICK'S WINCHESTER PRE-64 MODEL 70 375 H&H SAFARI RIFLE - LAYAWAY AVAILABLE A DANGEROUS GAME SAFARI RIFLE OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE. THIS RIFLE BELONGED TO PETER HATHAWAY CAPSTICK, THE NOTED AMERICAN-BORN HUNTING AUTHOR SPECIALIZING IN AFRICAN HUNTING. According to Fiona Capstick, wife of Peter Capstick, there is a very special association with this rifle. Peter Capstick worked for Winchester Advertures, Inc., a subsidiary of the famous firearms company in the 1960s, before leaving for Africa in 1969. This particular rifle was a gift in the early 1970s from Dean Witter, Junior, of the renowned Witter stockbroking firm, and to whom “Death in the Long Grass", Peter's first book, is dedicated. This rifle was taken on shikar in India by Dean's father, also named Dean, and was used in several successful hunts for tiger and other big game. Dean Witter Senior always spoke of this firearm as his 'lucky' rifle. Peter used it to good effect on many safaris in Africa. He consistently refused offers to purchase the rifle because of its strong personal associations and his wonderful friendship with Dean. FEATURES OF THIS HISTORICAL PIECE OF AFRICAN HISTORY INCLUDE:
