Good on Rigby providing certificates like that now as well.

Yep, I know first hand that Rigby and Cogswell & Harrison are very historically minded and eager to assist in getting into their existing records.
Jeffery daybooks do exist, but are privately held and it is very difficult to obtain information.
Cannot speak as to any of the other houses.

Gentlemen,

A question regarding your rifles.

I have a Cogswell & Harrison of similar desciption, I believe in .500 BPE as well.

Are your rifles a little muzzle heavy?

I will have to measure the barrel length and see the length. And also weigh the rifle.

Nitro John,
My 26” barrel Rigby above balances 1 1/4” ahead of the hinge pin, my 28” barrel Alexander Henry .450 also ~1 1/4” ahead of the hinge pin. Both feel very much “weight between the hands”.
