Built on a legendary Mauser Magnum action and chamber in the venerable .500 Jeffery Magnum, this massive rifle would make an excellent companion in the bush stalking a bull elephant or even the meanest cape buffalo. Fitted with a blued contoured steel barrel which features a beaded blade front sight on an island style base, three-position (one standing, two folding) rear sight labelled "1", "2", and "3" with platinum centerlines on the short quarter rib, and a sling eyelet on the underside. The barrel is signed "W. J. JEFFERY & Co. Ltd. 9 GOLDEN SQUARE. REGENT STREET. LONDON. W. 1." and the number "25369." between the front and rear sights as well as Birmingham nitro proof marked to the right of the chamber listing the charge as "2.75'/NORMAL 116 - 532" meaning a 532 grain bullet over 116 grains of powder in a 2 3/4 inch case. The barrel is fitted to the previously mentioned Mauser Magnum action which features a fine blue finish, a matted round front bridge, matted rear square bridge, bolt numbered "6643" (partial original Mauser serial number) with partial number "43" on the extractor, safety lever, and bolt sleeve, and a nitre blue ejector box with the same partial serial number "43" stamped on top. The underside of the action is stamped with a Mauser banner and the serial number "106643" placing its production circa 1930-1931. The proportionally sized bottom metal is handsomely blued and bears no markings aside from the nicely cut serial number on the triggerguard bow. The rifle is mounted in a nicely figured and multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with horn forend tip, casehardened recoil lug, rear sling eyelet, and a Pachmayr Old English recoil pad. Length of pull 14 11/16 inches. Weight 10 lbs. 4 oz. Provenance: The William Feldstein Collection; The Robert M. Lee Collection; Property of a Gentleman
