This rifle was built circa 1903 according to Nigel Brown's "British Gunmakers Volume One: London" and has blued steel chopperlump barrels which feature a beaded blade front sight, a four leaf (one standing, three folding) rear sight graduated at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards on the rear quarter rib, and a front sling eyelet. The barrels are marked "W. J. JEFFERY & Co." on the left and "13. KING STREET. St. JAMES'S. LONDON." on the right along with period Birmingham nitro proofmarks indicating a loading of 55 grains of cordite topped by a 400 grain bullet. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action which is signed "W. J. JEFFERY & Co." on either side and features bushed firing pins, chambers with automatic ejectors, double triggers, and a tang mounted manual safety with gold inlaid "SAFE" indicator. The rifle is fitted with an attractively figured and multi-point checkered forend with a rotary lever release and a pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, rear sling eyelet, blank gold inscription oval, and an orange rubber recoil pad. Included is a wood and leather takedown case, a set of snap caps, two dummy rounds, cleaning tools, and four boxes of Kynoch .450/400 Express cartridges (15 live rounds and five empty cartridges). Length of pull 14 7/16 inches. Weight 10 lbs. 7 oz.

Very good, retaining 80% original blue finish on the barrels, traces of original blue on the floorplate and triggerguard, and attractive grey patina on the action with flashes of original case colors. The barrels show some spotting and thinned finish. The wood is revarnished with a few dings and scratches, some thin spots, and worn but well define checkering. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good.
