There are no known photos of the original rifle. We talked to a gentleman that photographed the rifles that belong to royal family. He did not photograph her Rigby. Subsequently, I have discovered in our day books that in addition to H.M The Queen, The Queen Mother and Prince Charles also have Rigby .275s that have come back for service over the years. The Queen Mother and Prince Charles' rifles were not ordered new. H.M. The Queen told Paul Roberts that her rifle is "at Balmoral, still being used by the boys." We assume she meant Princes Harry and William.
Wow. Wonderful.
The Queen Mother's, Prince Charles' rifles "were not ordered new". Second hand? Or more likely off new off the rack?
Wonderful the Queen's rifle is still being used for hunting at Balmoral.
