Can put you in touch if interested.

Chequered pistol grip stock with iron furniture and key retained chequered fore end. Rounded small action with Jones Patent rotary under lever locking. Rigby semi smooth bore rifled barrels with full length rib and standing rear sight. A perfectly balanced little Deer or Park rifle made in the proportions of a fine .410 shotgun these small doubles were popular in Victorian times for all species of English deer as well as for use on medium sized soft skinned game for those travelling to India and Africa.

Casper

Is that supposed to be .360 instead of .380 ?

I've never heard of a 380 either but that's what the guy has it listed as. My guess is .360.

I THINK their was a 380 something but the fact it is tied in with the "1/4" and that it is in a rifle style that I have seen quite a few of just made .360 jump out at me.

Either way, sounds quite a sweet item.

If you are interested in any of theses 3 rifles from this source you must get someone knowledgeable to check them "in hand"

It would not be proper for me to make further comment
