Originally completed as a 450-400 (likely black powder express) rifle on August 9th, 1902, before being converted to this rarely seen configuration in .30-30 Winchester. The rifle has replacement barrels built of Bohler Rasant steel featuring a beaded blade front sight and a two-leaf (one standing, one folding) rear sight on the smooth flat solid rib, light engraving at the breech, "DANl. FRASER & Co. signed on the short rib, import mark under the forend, 1997 dated Birmingham proof marks, and chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to the casehardened Rogers patent sidelock action which displays attractive classic scroll engraving with rope border surrounding "ALEXh. HENRY & Co." signatures on either lockplate and a mix of niter blued and bright pins. The rifle features bushed firing pins, double triggers, and a tang mounted automatic safety. The rifle is fitted with a replacement beautifully figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and an Anson button release as well as a pistol grip stock with teardrop carved drop points, horn grip cap, shadowline cheekpiece, blank gold inscription oval, and a black serrated buttplate. Included is a modern goat skin leather takedown case with "M. L./SCARDROY" on the lid and containing two nickel oilers and some cleaning tools. Length of pull 14 13/16 inches. Weight 8 lbs. 2 oz.

Very fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 99% black finish on the barrels, triggerguard bow, and toplever, 95% plus vivid case colors, and minor handling evidence, a small crack at the rear of the left lockplate, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine. A great opportunity to own a classic English double rifle in a distinctly American caliber!
