From the same auction (Pook & Pook) as Curl's Rigby .360.

It's a very classical, underlever rebounding hammer double rifle and a great companion for my .450/.400.
It was built in 1892 for the earl of Shannon (likely Richard Henry Boyle the 6th).
Snap action, sideclips, 28" barrels, 9#6oz, 50 yard sight + 2 leaves, pistol grip with cap, cheek piece and cased.
The gun is in really good shape. The bores are excellent: the left is pristine, the right has very few pits.
Strangely the locks are blacked, but otherwise the case coloring is all there, even on the breech face.
The case is quite beat up, but I think it's fixable. Unfortunately, the tools are gone.
The case has painted dark green and white strips on it. I believe that this refers to a British unit or regiment.
Does anybody have a decoder ring?

It's pretty scary to buy a gun at a remote auction, it's such a crap shoot.
In my experience, only Julia's has really good descriptions and accurate condition reports (most of the time). The others seem to believe that the less they say, the better off they are. Most don't know much.
This specific auction yielded a great deal of wonderful stuff even though that's all I got. This collector had very good taste IMHO.
