I went through my data and found the file. During the summerperiod of 1921, Gulab Singh the Maharaja of Rewa followed an invitation of the britsh Royals. In this time he ordered a .600 Nitro "Royal" H&H. After the first world war, orders for expensive guns where not so common, so the Maharaja was able to get the commitment for a very aggressive timing plan from H&H. The action was forget at P.Webley & Son in Birmingham and the rifle was build and completed in only 10 weeks! Try to do this today. The barrel carries the following: "H.H Maharaja Gulab Singh Ji Bahadur of Rewa 1921" inlaid in gold. As written in my previous post the night sight carries a big blue river diamont. The double weight 15,96 pounds the barrel lenght is 26". As mentioned ealier the invoice of 120 pounds was quitly overtaken from the Britsh KIng. As far as I know it is one of only six which where build by H&H before they finished they official "last one" in 1975.

The pictures will follow asap
