That "conversion" is so very unfortunate. The rifle looks like it had been in great shape. It is different (to me) if the rifle is in poor condition.
I have seen several rook rifles that have been modifieed. In fact, I have a Holland that had been a 360 rook and is now a 22LR. It wasn't that expensive so I bought it solely as a shooter.
The same butchery happens to other vintage rifles. I remember seeing a very nice double rifle that some idiot proudly had ported.
Well having money doesn't mean having good taste.
Not only this, This very Rook rifle was the H&H Model Royal. The most expensive of them all. A gentlemans best gun.
