As I had the original .275 Rigby rifle, presented in 1907 by Sir Hewett to J.G.Corbett, in my hands just two days ago, here is a closer description: The rifle is built on a short intermediate action. The Mauser serial number dates the action to late 1904. The action has the usual "Waffenfabrik Mauser - Oberndorf a.N." inscription on the left receiver wall. The receiver ring is uninscribed on top. It's left side has the Mauser serial number, the Oberndorf BU and the London View proof marks. The barrel reinforce has 7mm and London proofmarks on the left. The open rear sight has one standard and two folding leaves, marked 100, 200 and 300. Forward of the rear sight is the Rigby, London address. The 1907 "Presented to Mr.J.G.Corbett …" plate is inlaid into the left side of the fiddleback figured butt. The rifle shows a lot of wear. There is no visible blueing left on any of the metal parts. The stock too shows a lot of wear, with a small crack at the top left of the hand. Checkering is worn almost smooth. Someone sometime tried to "fresh up" the checkering, but fortunately gave up after doing a few scratches on the left side of the pistol grip.
