Marrakai:

Hollis posted in a previous thread that this rifle is a boxlock. As to the number being out of sequence, I suppose anything is possible. However, the likelihood of a much later number being substantially earlier in date would seem low.

I've seen a couple of Liege built boxlocks in .500 Nitro that were in the 9.5 lb range, but the Brits just didn't do that. I'm wondering about a re-bore or re-barrel. Only the proof marks will tell the tale.
