Manufactured between 1886 and 1891 according to the information on page 133 of Nigel Brown's "British Gunmakers Volume One: London". Built with blued steel barrels featuring a beaded blade front sight and a two-leaf (one standing, one folding) rear sight on the matted solid rib which is marked "JAMES WOODWARD & SONS 64 St. JAMES'S STREET LONDON", band of engraving at the breech, period London proofs, and chambers with extractor. The barrels are mounted to a fine casehardened Jones rotary underlever action which displays attractive floral scroll engraving and "J. WOODWARD & SONS." signatures on either lockplate. The rifle features rebounding hammers, safety bars, and double triggers. The rifle is fitted with an attractively figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, rear sling stud, blank inscription oval, and a hard rubber buttplate. Included is a wood and canvas takedown case, snap caps, and cleaning tools. Length of pull 14 9/16 inches. Weight 7 lbs. 11 oz.

Very good overall, retaining some of the blue finish on the barrels which are turning a brown patina, traces of case colors on the action in the protected areas, dings and scratches mostly on the wood, scattered minor spotting, and mostly crisp wood checkering with some bruising. Case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
