"28040, W. J. Jeffery & Co. Ltd, 9 Golden Square, Regent Street, London W: A Deluxe No. 2 Grade Jeffery Pre-War 333 Rimless Nitro Express on a Single Square Bridge Magnum Mauser Action, Made about 1926, It is with a 24" barrel with an island rear sight with 3 folding rear sights, Band front ramp, Sling eye on the barrel, Un-cut matted single square bridge, The receiver bridge and ring never drilled or tapped, An original Jeffery cocking piece elevator peep sight with 5 distinct elevation settings with a knurled knob, Waffenfabrik Mauser-Oberndorf Single Square Commercial Magnum length action that carries the Mauser #81052, The action was built in 1914, This very rifle is listed on page 439 of Jon Speed's "Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles" as a Magnum action in 333 by Jeffery, Mauser #81055 is also a Jeffery in 404 on a Magnum action; The receiver, magazine box, floorplate, bolt & bolt sleeve all have matching Mauser serial numbers everywhere, Nitro proof at cordite 40 1/2 & 300 max, Belly magazine with a straddle hinged floorplate with a center bow release, Mauser wing safety, As a Deluxe Jeffery it has 85% coverage of very nice floral & scroll No. 2 Grade engraving on the floorplate & trigger guard, The receiver ring with matching engraving, This is a very typical engraving pattern used by Jeffery on their Deluxe rifles, An excellent piece of upgraded wood with excellent color & contrast, A classic Jeffery pre-war stock, Horn grip cap, Horn forend tip, Point pattern checkering, Double crossbolts, 14 5/16" L.O.P. over a checkered steel buttplate with a trapdoor, 8 lbs. 5 oz., All metal except the bolt body has been professionally reblacked a long time ago & now remains at 90-92%, The stock has new finish and now at 95%, The checkering is at 90%, The bore is excellent plus and is a 9.5 out of 10. It is cased in the original full length brass cornered canvas trunk with the correct address trade label. Here is a solid classic Jeffery Magnum Mauser with all the bore condition you could hope to find and it certainly had very good custodians for all these years. /////////////////////////////////// This is all Commercial Mauser with a Magnum action and then the British made a great open sighted game rifle to compliment this great piece of bolt rifle machinery. The Mauser Sporting Rifle and actions number about 127,000 and more than 82,000 were sold prior to WWI with a large percentage going to the British Gun Trade. /////////////////////////////////// Jeffery was already well known at the turn of the century but notice was certainly taken with their impressive line of Double Rifles. They had a large range of cartridges from .280, .333, and 404, 450 #2, 475 #2 and the famous 600 Nitro. Jeffery was at the 13 King Street address until 1914, they moved to 26 Bury Street and then to 9 Golden Square (The address of this piece) in 1921. When Rigby's exclusive contract with Mauser ended in 1912, Jeffery became active buyers of Magnum actions for their very popular 333 & 404 rifles. The Jeffery firm remained in business until 1955, in 1957 Westley Richards purchased the firm and then in 1959 it was merged with Holland & Holland. "

11.2 x 72 SCHULER- by AUGUST SCHULER for RODDA
http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-fo...un_id=100546049

"#25410, R. B. Rodda & Co. Calcutta: A 11.2 x 72 Schuler Mauser Made by August Schuler in 1928 for the R. B. Rodda Company, 25 1/2" Krupp Stahl barrel that is 1/2 round & 1/2 octagon with a full length integral rib that is machine matted full length, 1 standing & 2 folding rear sights, Sling eye on the barrel, Fold over locking sight protector, Forend tiedown screw, The action and barrel carry the same serial number, The stock is serial numbered in the barrel channel, Double set triggers, Bolt safety, Button release non-hinged floorplate, Sporter stock, Point pattern checkering with a border on the grip only, European style cheekpiece, 14 1/4" LOP over the original Silvers pad, 9 lbs. even, The receiver ring matted with light Germanic border engraving, The floorplate and trigger guard has 5% coverage, The original blue on all metal remains at 75-80%, The stock is original and overall finish is 80%, The inletting inside is very good, The strong news on this piece is the bore and chamber are absolutely like new, It is cased in the original leather cornered canvas full length case with the original trade label and a cleaning rod that I am sure is ebony. The story goes; it arrived on these shores via a Missionary and he used it to control Tigers that were not welcome on his grounds. Not quite but close; this is dreams of tigers and ships and palaces, fine spices and women and silk. This piece remains totally original and laid around a lot more than it was shot as the bore is almost as new. Here is a classic Suhl Mauser from the Golden Era of German gunmaking in a big bore cartridge and a known maker to go with it."
