Exception would be that Gibbs was not involved in my rifles case. Daybook shows Le Personne and Taylor.

Oops. The thread title read 'Jeffery', Gibbs was an error on my part.
Ah, well. In your defense the original header/post did describe it as a Jeffery “.256 Gibbs Magnum” chambering. Easy to make the jump to it being a Gibbs sourced rifle.
As an aside; not even Steve knew that the original description was wrong, the actual rifle being the 6.5x54 MS. (So much for auction houses correct descriptions eh?)
Anyway, I am absolutely delighted to have this unaltered original Jeffery, and the 6.5x54 is a delight of a cartridge.
