Jeffery .600 NE double rifle underlever
#387756 - 17/11/24 12:08 AM

J. Corry, a forums member posted this on the NE FB group:
"The big ol 600 W J Jeffery has arrived back in her homeland. She has certainly been missed."

Made in 1914 for the Maharaja of Jodhpur.

Underlever. Made on a Leonard action.

"Weight is about 14.5lbs. Was originally in India then sold at Christie’s in the late 70s and then went to Rhodesia."

In answer to my query.

Lovely. Wood to metal fit just doesn't get any better than that.

That's not a Jones under-lever. It's a push-forward snap lever.

Great looking gun in nice condition! The case looks to be original to the gun.

Master John CORRY sold me 9 new PURDEY’s. He is a gun WIZARD. I now have 600 h&h Purdey and boss 600s. This gun excites me.

Magnificent piece indeed!
Actually has perfect lines, no top lever to possibly snag your hand in recoil & there would be a fair old amount of that!

Very nice.
Elegant simplicity in design while maintaining full embellishment.
Jeffery doubles definitely strike the perfect balance between
form and function IMHO.
...if a .600 Nitro could ever be called a "working double"!
