An interesting Rigby rifle manufactured on a square bridge Mauser Magnum action with five shots drop box magazine. The 24" barrel bears the traditional Rigby flat near the receiver and is fitted with platinum lined three leaves express rear sight and gold tipped caterpillar bead on Rigby block with its scarce lever secured slip on protector. The very 14,5" LOP English walnut stock retains the original trapped steel buttplate, trapped grip cap and recoil blocks buttons. That particular Rigby is in a perfect state of conservation, with all the parts to the same number and it displays the Rigby extras of the period: roughly dotted bolt lever half ball, special modified single stage trigger, "SAFE" inlaid in gold on safety catch, "John Rigby & C°, 43, Sackville Street, London W." engraving on the barrel, ".375 MAGNUM RIGBY-MAUSER" engraved on the receiver ring, etc… while the receiver retains the "Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf A/N" factory rolled marking on the receiver left wall. The bore is absolutely perfect, as is the flawless functioning. Notice also that it's very unusual to found these rifles still fitted with their unusual front sight slip on protector hood, a scarce extra item. The rifle weights 8lbs 12oz, net.
