Thanks to Sarg for getting those pics up for all to see. A little more info for anyone who is interested. Tang safety is back to front - forward is safe. The underside of the action is nicely engraved and all the screws - action, forend, grip cap - line up North and South. Forend and grip cap are ebony and butplate is horn without the trap. The magazine is also engraved. Engraved on the top cover is J Blanch & Son 29 Gracechurch Street London. Solid top rib is tapered to match the barrel contour and is engraved in a wavy pattern all the way to the front sight. All metal parts are border engraved as are all screws. Trigger a bit heavy with some creep but nothing I cant live with. I have a copy of an old photo of J H Paterson of "Man Eaters of Tsavo" and he took to Africa an identical rifle, right down to the sling swivels. I suppose many gunmakers of the time started with military actions and made rifles around them, just as custom 'smiths do today with M98's. Weight bare is a neat 6 pounds - looks like the Poms worked out the concept of "ultra light" about a hundred years before it was "discovered". Like I said, bore is pristine and I'll get it shooting soon. Let you know how it goes. Dont suppose anyone knows the serial number or maker of Patersons rifle or where it may be?
