That's an amazing rifle.
Super high condition.

One fancy piece of kit that one!
Would be an interesting cartridge to load for, any know professional hunters use this calibre?

“93x64”
I have hunted with 2 different PH’s in Zimbabwe that used Dominions in 465 but none with a “Royal”. That’s a beautiful rifle !!!!

The rifle was sold new 1910 approx. used on one safari. Estate sold gun back to Holland 1950s late. Purchased by Australian and used on 1 safari. Holland cleaned serviced and re colour cased hardened gun for Australian. It shoots like an angel.

True working art!

Great history, too. Very interesting stuff.
