Rigby, London, best sidelock double rifle in .470 N.E., ca. 1911. Weight: 11 lbs. 6oz. Stock dimensions: 14 5/8"x 1 3/8"x 2 5/8"x 1/4" cast-off. Superb 26" chopper lump steel barrels with mint bores proofed for 75gr. Cordite and 500gr. bullet. Classic Rigby sidelock action with double underlugs and highly desirable rising bite third fastener, bushed firing pins, ejectors, double safety, and double triggers. Beautifully engraved action and locks retain traces of the original hardening colors and show no wear whatsoever. Barrels reblacked. Highly figured butt stock with Silver's pad and splinter forend with lever release mechanism. Comes in the very unusual original unlined wood case with heavy nickel plated brass corners and a complete compliment of original accessories. Beautiful tight original gun showing some use but no abuse and overall about as fine an original Rigby .470 as you are likely to see.

This is truly a work of art -- much more than just a gun. Like all art, it evokes many mental images and has the power to transport us somewhere in Africa looking over those beautiful barrels at a giant cape buffalo, or seeing the glint of sunlight reflected from that exquisite engraving, as it leans against the giant animal. We can here the excited conversation of the mean, smell the mud and buffalo in the air, and feel the combined exhilaration of a hunt we'll remember for a lifetime, as well as the residual pit in our gut as we count the few paces between where we stood and the rushing buff finally piled up under the effect of the solid.

Thanks for sharing this one, Vikram!

Amazing gun, very hard to find anything like these in India, how much should a gun like these cost in India if being sold.
