375 x 2 1/2 NE by Charles Hellis and Sons
27/04/17 12:04 PM

After years of putting up with my whining and begging, my good friend finally relented and sold me his magnificent .375.

The rifle was made in 1913 by Charles Hellis and Sons, Edgeware Rd, London and sold that same year for the princely sum of 17 pounds 10 shillings.

The rifle is built on a No1 MkIII action and has a number of features that I, in my limited experience, have not seen before.

Here are some pictures and I apologize for the fact that I do not have the presentational skills of our friend Roy.

First, here is a view of the complete rifle

Next a close-up of the butt

The trigger guard

And the magazine

And the safety

Now here is something unusual-- an ivory front sight

The engraving is not of a pattern that I am used to seeing

The shape of the charger base has been re-worked

Although I can't show it, the barrel rib is narrower than I have seen and the matting pattern on the top is different also.

Altogether, this is a very fine rifle that I am very proud to own, and one that is a little unusual, I think
