Hi guys

Firstly I want to thank Wheels for helping me get the information I posted below
I’m considering buying a original Jeffery 404 Take Down and I’m trying to collect all available information on it before pulling the proverbial trigger

The serial number is 21219

From the info I have on the photo I’m struggling to find a date of manufacture

Can anyone assist me in deciphering the ledger entry

Kind regards

Frederik

Would be handy to see the column headers. Hope someone can help.

Definitely, that is all I got unfortunately

looks like it has sights out to 1000 yds!!!
that would be handy.

Nothing like long range big game hunting....


The rifle comes with a extra 360 Imperial Canadian Magnum barrel
 
@Wheels is a very resourceful fellow!
 

Very interesting reading! It looks as though Jeffery made a great number of .404 rifles.

It looks like the 3rd column is a list of workmen and the 4th column from the left is a list of costs associated with the work in L S D - pounds, schillings and pence.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
