Re: W.J. Jeffery History

A late reply to the question of catalogues later than 1910/1911

Hi Marrakai,

Stuart and I both have a copy of the 1928 Jeffery catalogue. The "prowling tigers" gun is listed on page 29, Classified as

Jefferys No. 3 Model Cordite Express Rifle in .333, .375 Magnum, .400, & .475 No. 2 Bore calibres. Top lever Anson & Dealy Action, Dolls Head Extension, 24" nickel steel barrels, Sighted to 300 yards (or to 500 if required)

The barrels have solid lumps and not merely a separate piece of steel brazed to the Barrel as is usually the case in medium-priced weapons. Cartridges for these Cordite Rifles can usually be obtained at short notice from the leading Indian Gunmakers. Prices No. 3 Model Ejector 70 English pounds No. 3 model Non-Ejector 60 English pounds. Approximate postage to Australia and New Zealand 6 shillings and sixpence. Catalogue also had Cartridges in .400 Jeffrey calibre with 400 grain solid, soft nose or split nose bullets cost 3 English pounds per 100.

Regards,

Norman
