OTC

It’s a purpose made, original locking jaw humane man trap. Made by Nunn of Hertford. The scroll ‘plate’ is original and was made that way to avoid the poacher’s testing the ground ahead with a pole. There are locking parts to the top of the jaws which you can see; the spring when raised locates a spring loaded pin that goes into the jaws to prevent them opening. Thereyou go -your mystery solved OTC

Yes, all well thank you, and you?

Reading these posts really took me back, but it did sound a bit like reading my own obituary at times KD … OTC

I never really went away, I was just busy and a little preoccupied with a few things… ? I sold off literally thousands of my old traps, out of necessity, but have kept the cream, and they still have my vested interest. Things have moved on a long way with my research too since those early days, the real story is often a lot different from what we were always lead to believe. I will get the books done, I promise, there’s just always something more pressing to do! OTC

Oh I certainly would cross the road, my old friend! And the trap that Micky shows, that started this thread, is hanging on my wall … as for the books, they are still waiting for me to find time to edit the text, and press the go button … OTC
