Made on a Webley longbar action its very identical to my George Gibbs in similar caliber. The gun appears original only mounted a Nickel scope somwhere in the 1960s. With the serienumber my guess the gun is made in in 1903-04. I have a Rigby ballgun just a few numbrs away and thats is made in 1903.

opening bid is aprox $8777

Only one bidder(not me). Sold for $10500 including auction fee. I handled the rifle here some days ago. Nice original rifle with extractors. Sharp rifling all the way out. No cordite pitting.
