I was looking through the HeymUSA.com website just now, and under the "Rifles" tab, they show one of their Model 88B Double Rifles with the thumb latch machined with an elephant head; ears, tusks, trunk and all. However, the carving is considerably smaller than the buffalo skull on the Rigby. In this case, the elephant head is set in the middle of the latch and the trunk extends to the top of the thumb piece. The ears extend outward but stop well inside the sides of the action and should not touch the rear of the fence when opened. Also, the tips of the tusks come almost together on the trunk and the entire carving appears to set below the top of the rib. So, it should not interfere with the sight picture and the chance for it catching on clothing or whatever should be much lower.

Not to my personal taste, but it seems to be a much more practical approach if you want a such a carving on your double.
