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.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
