Still enjoying the photos.

It's interesting that these pre-war Rigbys don't usually have highly figured wood and that, if they did, it would detract from the look. These rifles have an elegance that is hard to define. The lines? yes, but it's something more than that.

I don't think the look can be duplicated today. It reminds me of efforts to reverse engineer a Stradivari violin or a great wine.

By the way, regarding Henri Chamaulte, if I'm not mistaken George Caswell had a beautiful Holland sidelock in 475 no. 2 that once belonged to him. If I remember correctly it was number 2 of a pair. Messr Chamaulte must have been quite a gun lover. The Holland was also in pristine condition.
