A few weeks ago, I was offered a nice rifle from an acquaintance of mine who also fancy older rifles. He had to raise some money fast so he would like to sell a few rifles. I bought one of him, a nice British Mannlicher Schoenauer made by William Evans. Caliber is .256 Mannlicher Schoenauer. A previous owner contacted William Evans in London and received a lot of interesting details. Apparently completed on the 21st February 1929. The customer was Viscount Knollys for Viscountess Knollys. The rifle was delivered in a nice W. Evans canvas case. Please also note the Evans “Turnover” foresight. The rifle is in very good condition and looks very good with the very nice wood. The red rubber butplate has to be a later replacement because it really doesn’t fit the rifle! Enjoy!
