Plus one for the condition, the rose and scroll engraving is my preference, certainly nicer than a plain rifle
It is in better condition than my .577/500 Rodda double that was cut down (posted as Howdah rifle? In DR archive)
I have not shot it yet (this is the uk!!) but the dealer said it shot well, albeit leaving him with a sore shoulder after 20 rounds
Good luck with your shooting, more pics and loads please!

Tony,
I was in the USAF based at RAF Bentwaters back in '79 thru '81 so I'm sympathetic to your firearms restrictions.......and they have only gotten tougher since I was there.
Recoil is stout on these .500 BP Express if using the full on black powder loads. NfB loads are much more pleasant!
