Robie,
Obviously Rigby didn't think so, since they only ever made two. Kind of tells you something! Actually, as I recall, the first was as a result of some armtwisting by the Maharhaja of Surjoja pre-war, and when it came back onto the market in the nineties, the right barrel was shot out! Very partial to tigers it seems - his Shikar tent was made of tiger skins! Must have been a damn fine shot though! The other was made "in the modern era" when Rigby's were under the stewardship of J Roberts & Son. Don't know what the current crew are up to, but nothing would surprise me there.
