W. J. JEFFERY 450/400

over 100 years of service and still the epitome of design,how many things built by man with such detail to precision still work as they should and tell bedtime stories to their owners !!!
Great point Paul.
 
I am fortunate enough to own one of these issued in 1910, engraved with Gaur. I'll put up photos when I can - I'm shooting it today in a Big Game Rifle comp.
Can’t wait to see it
 
Some photos:

It is a dream to shoot. I'm taking this rifle to the Northern Territory in August to take a trophy Asiatic Buffalo. I have some 400gr Spoor Bullets on the way from South Africa for this hunt but will be practicing with my ample supply of Woodleighs in the meantime.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,
