A big thanks to those who assisted. Received a very quick response from Paul Roberts who was able to supply the following information.

We have some photo copies of the records from this rifles period and fortunately serial number: 5217 is one of them. The rifle was finished on Jan 10th 1927, in .350 magnum calibre and was sold to ‘Lawn & Alder’ who were a safari outfitters and Rigby’s agents in Nairobi. They would have ordered it for client or bought it for stock.

Once again thank you very much.
