This is a particularly interesting rifle as it has the crossed pennant British military proof mark. Both on the chamber and near the magazine well.

I have seen a few 6.5mm Jeffrey sporting rifles with this same stamping and just missed out on one so marked, here in Australia.

I have also seen another rifle in .375 2 1/2 inch on this forum a few years ago which I commented about a few years ago.

Despite looking for information on these rifles in the National Archives in London I have yet to find any reference to them. I did however find a reference to some 6.5mm barrels being supplied to the Ministry of Munitions in WW1, from Rigby.

Does it have the crossed pennent mark on the bolt by any chance?
