Thanks for all the very positive comments. It is a lovely little rifle (funny to say that about a 375H&H) and fits like it was made for me. I would imagine it was ordered in 1912, must get the paperwork from H&H. I know who the first owner was, he lived in a castle in Britain (name and castle on the lid of the case). He had part of his right thumb (or all of it) blown off in an army accident - he was making up a sulphur for wasps in his tent, if I remember correctly, and it exploded! He eventually moved to Africa and died in Sth Africa in 1961.

The information in the case lid is interesting too, I shall post the photos, giving takedown assembly instructions, and the standard load and tropical load of MDT.

Barrel length is around 23 1/2" and it has been very professionaly hollowed in the butt for balance.

The fixed blade rear sight is sighted for 50/200yds, the folding for 350yds.

Kamilaroi (they got around the Kamilaroi didn't they!)I have asked a better authority regards the threads.

I am in no hurry regards the case, but would like some sympathetic restoration completed in the future.

Best wishes, Chris
