A veritable work of art, with funds raised serving a good purpose. I don't imagine it is a rifle you would fire let alone take into the field. Should be retained as a mint edition and of course an investment. Obviously it is nothing like the original workhorse .275 Rigby rifle that Corbett used but then it wasn't designed and built to be. I'm sure Jim would have enjoyed the engraving for being a great artist impression of the land and beasts he hunted in it.

I still have the unanswered question in my mind as to why two years after Jim was presented with the .275 Rigby Mauser (he never mentions being presented with a Rigby), he himself purchased a new Westley Richards .275 Mauser and had a bit of a whoopsie with the two stage trigger when trying to dispose of a domestic stock eating beast. The way he talks of the purchase it is as if the Mauser bolt gun was new to him. The iteration of Westley Richards in this one particular episode is the only time Jim ever mentions a .275 rifle by makers name in all his books.

Why did Jim purchase another new .275 Mauser when he supposedly already had a Rigby?
Why does he give the impression this was the first time he had a Mauser bolt gun?
Why did he not have experience with a two stage trigger, does the Corbett Rigby have a single stage?

Jim if you hear me please solve the mystery.
