Walter Locke & Co, Calcutta 577 EX double rifle - Jones Under-Lever

I recently saw a note on the forum that said "577 Express Double in Classified" ... I looked, but it wasn't there. After a few private messages to the seller, I had it coming to Wisconsin. I jumped on this because I was missing a 577 in my double rifle family, because I sold my 577 ex a couple years ago. The rifle arrived today, and a quick chamber cast shows it has 2-3/4" chambers. (shown next to a loaded cartridge) The gun was fully restored with new wood and a fresh coat of rust-blue. Both wood and metal are 100%, showing little or no use after restoration. Most of the light factory engraving has been muted from the restoration. I may leave it as is, or have a local engraver freshen it, but for now its just fine for shooting.

Specs are:

Unknown maker w/ British Proofs
Jones Under-Lever
Back Action Locks
Rebounding Hammers
30" barrels - full matted rib
1 standing, 2 folding rear site, marked 100, 200, 300
brass bead front site
10 pounds 12 ounces
14" LOP
Metal Butt Plate
sling swivels

and ..... its now cased with an appropriate case label

as always, your comments are most welcome.
