What a great example!
Interesting that a 1912 action would lay in stock (or perhaps the whole rifle) before finally being sold to a customer in 1939.
Also, I cannot see any proof marks on the gun, not even the view mark which is normally found on the receiver ring, is this because it was delivered to a customer outside of the U.K.?
If it does have British proofs, are they pre or post 1925? Did the rifle proofs change in 1925 like the shotgun proofs did - I am unsure.
I can only imagine finding a rifle like this today and with all the hype around Rigby right now, no better time to come across one!





Huvius,
As on the majority of the RIGBY, .350 and .416 of the period, the proof marks are under the barrel.
Don't forget that the barreled action came assembled in the white directly from Mauser in Oberndorf.
You will notice the "Not English Made" stamp underneath the barrel as well as the Mauser serial number (here 52541) that appears on all the parts.
Sorry for the bad pictures shot too hastily.
