Hi Don,

He slowly approached the bull and lodged himself on the tail as an anchor. The bull would tumble over and he'd keep it on the ground, getting the bull by the horns. (at least, that's what he claimed ).

Wes, thanks for the comments. I'm afraid I'm starting to get hooked on period documentation...Especially in the Luger collecting era, where most documentation is from the 3rd hand and at best from the 2nd, it's refreshing and most interesting to read the 1st hand accounts.

His remarks on the quality of English workmanship (or rather the lack of it) and the tendency of workmen to find just about any excuse to get drunk was rather entertaining. I'll try to post some scans of the illustrations as well, some excellent Maxim demonstration photographs.
