While browsing through previous Christie's auctions, I found this .450/.44 3" N.E. boxlock by R.Rodda for sale at an estimated price of 4,000 - 6,000 British pounds. (about $8000-11000) It remained unsold. The name of the auction was: "EXCEPTIONAL AND FINE SPORTING GUNS AND RIFLES", so I would expect the condition of the gun to be ok.

Description:
Lot Description A .450/.400 (3IN NITRO EXPRESS) DOUBLE-BARRELLED HAMMERLESS BOXLOCK NON-EJECTOR RIFLE BY R. RODDA, NO. 252
Bolstered treble-grip action-body, the heavy side-bolsters and the triggerguard engraved with vignettes of bear, leopard and deer, the whole surrounded by scrollwork, stock with pistolgrip, engraved pistolgrip-cap, cheek-piece and recoil-pad, sling-eyes, the 'Hammered Fluid Steel' chopper-lump barrels with matt sight-ramp, open-sights and ramp-mounted bead-foresight
Weight 10lb. 9oz., 14 5/8in. pull, 24in. barrels, nitro proof
In its brass-mounted leather case, the lid stamped 'HIS HIGHNESS MAHARAO RAJA SIR RAGHUBIR SINGHI SAHIB BAHADUR G.C.I.E., K.C.S.I. CHIEF OF THE BUNDI STATE'

Does anyone know anything about this maker?
