Are these images too large? It might just be my cache?

Images seem fine to me, not too large.

Those are fine examples of "London Best Gun" work from Rigby to be sure.
I do have to say, to my eye they are adorned as only an old time Maharaja (or these days a Middle Eastern Prince) could love……

Yes the original large images were in my cache which had to clear itself.

The larger quality images can be viewed by clicking on the displayed images.

What lovely little shotguns these 28-bores would be to handle. The closest I have is my side by side .410 which is of far more basic quality. But I still enjoy using it. I must give it a walk again soon.

I started off shooting it, carrying it around as my "musket" when I was right or nine. A year or two later loaded with no?4s for rabbits and birds. I was quite successful. Also the .22RF Lithgow single shot with birdshot cartridges. One had to be close. Still use them for pigeons in the sheds and rats.

These Rigby 28-bores are a class 100 times higher.

Not everything is for everyone. If I was very wealthy and ordering I would order differently absolutely.

But one can appreciate fine sporting firearm works of art and function.

Oh man, a bit over the top, but beautiful to me (my grandmother was Roma, lol) - would I love to own one of them. Don't need 2?
Being 28 bores would also work nicely for me. Grouse are my only birds of the hunt, now.
