History
Sportsman’s Legacy™ incorporated in 2015, but it was a long time coming. The concept originated in 1982, when founder Dwight Van Brunt began attending gun shows and auctions in search of firearms, sporting collectibles and vintage hunting books for his personal collection.
Dwight discovered that desirable items were often lost among the clutter and supported by inaccurate descriptions. “Valuations were all over the place, both high and low,” Dwight recounted. “The market had very little order and sellers without strong product knowledge were at its mercy. I became determined to develop a better way to market these products, to showcase them nationally so their full value could be realized.”
It wasn’t long before Dwight discovered the most lucrative market was found in the pages of Shotgun News and The Gun List, as well as at the major national auctions. “I dove in at the deep end of the pool.” Dwight remembered. “Things then began falling into place, and Sportsman’s Legacy is the end result.”

A Black-Maned Lion By Dwight Van Brunt
It seems customary for those who write about hunting lions to begin by citing influences of others gone before. They will first recall youthful rereads of Patterson, Akeley, Taylor and Hunter, then just as certainly mention the more recent adventures of Mellon, Ruark and Sanchez-Arino.
Metaphoric throat thus cleared, they will hold forth on previous encounters when a lion was not on license, every unsuccessful attempt after a permit was secured and the horrific amount of money unhanded in their quest. Somewhere in the mix will be a recounting of shooting practice, a most careful selection of the professional hunter and, finally, the agonizing wait for their safari to begin. It is with absolute certainty they know the reader will suffer these ramblings, for they are writing of lions and thereby command the floor.
I’ll simply confirm this was the well-worn path I followed and get to it.
I went all in for a lion some years ago, writing the check in anticipation that a permit would shortly open in Namibia’s Kalahari Desert. My reasonin
