No frills double

I found a few more pics that illustrate the degrees of simplicity that may or may not appeal to you. I'll post them searately to keep file size down. This first one is an absolutely bare coin

I also had a pic, which I can't find, of oxide colours with edge engraving, but you could hardly see the engraving so there was little point to it.
 
Ed, that Trijicon mount gets nice and low, is that an after-market one that fits right into the Kreighoff slot or did machine work need to be done?
 
Trijicon makes a solid mounting block that I had machined to fit the existing cutout in the Krieghoff barrel. Keeps the cheek weld and the feel of the firearm upon mounting. Worked out real well as the line of sight for the red dot was only a small fraction of an inch above the line of sight for the open sight.
 
The English Army & Navy brand were good, unadorned working guns. A boxlock non ejector shouldn't be too cost prohibitive and less fussy than many ejection systems.
 
There are multiple Rizzini's on GB now for around $10k in 416 Rigby. That struck me as very reasonable given the caliber.

I'm like you. I don't have one now but one day I plan to.

Warning given I owned one in 470. check weight for caliber…they tend to always be too light for caliber resulting in them kicking the sh!? out of you

You are correct. They never produced guns only had other well know manufacturers make them for their label. For example I bought a Westley Richards built 500 NE under the Army Navy Brand. The cool thing was the serial number of course was under WR. I reached out to them and quickly found the certificate of manufacturer showing it was built by WR

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
