About 25 years ago I was in Crudgingtons & was privileged to be able to handle what I was told was the last 505 that GIbbs ever made. At that time it was possible to believe it would remain so, big game cartridges were probably at their nadir. It was built on (from memory) a single square bridge magnum Mauser action, still in the white & with a fair patina from being handled. I remember well the friendliness & willingness to "chat" to a young Kiwi, something that was not as obvious in the London gunrooms.
It never occurred to me to take pics of it, ("duh"), & of course it was well pre digital anyway. Aaaah, Memories.
I suspect that someone has liberated that gun from them a long time ago. It wasn't actually for sale at the time but everything has its price.
Steve.
