The Count begins his last minute preparations in the kitchen of the rented house. He finds space on a table or bench and begins unloading his personal armament onto a soft cloth he retrieved from his bag.
He removes the two cut down Colt New Service revolvers from his jacket pockets and then removes the shoulder holster for the Gabilondo War Model automatic. Finally he lifts up a compact leather case and after undoing the buckles and straps he removes a rather odd looking rifle. It would seem to be some sort of automatic rifle similar to the lewis gun but much more manoeuvrable. From the two converted map cases on his sam browne belt he also removes six curved magazines.
The Count gives all his firearms a simple function check and reloads or loads them all. He has six webley prideaux loaders, three 20 round magazines for his automatic and the six magazines for his Fedorov Avtomat. He watches the others from the group as they went through the same motions.
Mr Perkins had removed his SMLE No.1 Mk.III sniper rifle from its case. It was sitting next to the table with its pattern 1918 telescopic sight now attached. Mr Perkins was checking each round of .303 hunting ammunition he took from the supply the Count had brought before inserting it into the magazines he carried.
Finally the Count began loading the magazines with the hollow-point ammunition he had brought from the London armoury. The 6.5x50mm Arisaka cartridge was an odd looking thing but the Count had seen it effectiveness first hand and it was terrible to behold.
