"The Huntsman was developed for the country pursuits enthusiast, a unique collaboration with legendary gun engravers, Ken Hunt & Sons gives the interior a refined yet purposeful feel."

Ken Hunt, born in Paddington, London began engraving fine English guns at the age of 15 working for James Purdey and Sons as an apprentice under the late Harry Kell in 1950. Perfecting styles over 60 years allowed him to create stunning game scenes and animal portraits as well as iconic scroll work. Devotion sparked innovations that were then perfected causing great demand for his work and was commissioned by Holland and Holland, John Rigby & Co, James Purdey and Sons, Westley Richards and other fine English gun makers.

Now retired, the next generation continue his work, with the Huntsman featuring solid silver engraved inlays, gear shifter, as well as engraved door handles and door pulls.
