As soon as I get more information I will post it here.
I was with my friend when he was offered this rifle by a club member who was selling it for a deceased relations estate and would have liked it for myself as an interesting rifle from the first world war but of course you do not gazump a friend or I think anybody else for that matter. This was as I said in my post on the other thread around forty years ago and the rifle was to the best of my memory all original including a letter of provenance.
It still seems incredible to me that only so few have come to light although I suppose they are out there somewhere and it was only when I saw your post saying that only three have turned up to date that I thought of this rifle.
Of course forty years ago classic rifles were not fetching much and I remember I once traded a long barreled S & W 44 mag which were in short supply at the time along with fifty pounds for a 350 Rigby. Now long gone as I don't keep anything these days unless I use it and that 350 was not user friendly.
Regards, Roly.
