Rigby Rifles Used in War
16/04/17 04:58 PM

Some time ago I had the opportunity to go through the Rigby ledgers for the periods covering, 1914 - 1918 and 1940 - 1945.

Four rifles were sold to various departments of the British government during this time.

June 1916 .577 single falling block rifles, number 17163.

June 1916 .416 Rigby rifle number 4046.

February 1917 .256 Mannlicher 'Military Rifle' number 930.

May 1941 .275 Rigby rifle number 5684 action number 1172. This rifle ended up with SOE and had its stock shortened by Wilkes of Soho.

My question is does anyone have any of these rifles or seen them come up for auction. I would like to know if they received any official military inspection or proof marks.
