Re: A masterpiece, John Rigby & Co., the "Shikar" rifle

Beautiful rifle in its own way, but the engraving is not of that high a quality: look at the "crosses" on the corners where the border cuts went too far:



Honestly the engraving looks like the kind of work you would find on good quality souvenirs found in Eastern bazaars and tourist shops.

Black painted modern scopes will never look right on classically designed and finished rifles in my opinion and EAW-type swing off mounts are debatable for the same reason.

Just personal feelings of course.
