This is an excellent example of a 600 Nitro Express double rifle made by W.J. Jeffery & Co of London, England producers of high quality custom made shotguns and rifles that have been used by wealthy big game sportsmen for years. They produce guns under their own banner and also as contractors for other distributors.

The top breech end of the right barrel is marked "W.J. JEFFERY & CO" and the left , "13 KING STREET ST. JAMES ST. LONDON". Each barrel under the forearm is marked "SPECIAL - GUN / BARREL - STEEL" and "FRIED KRUPP / -ESSEN-", and each is proofmarked. The barrel flats are marked with bullet grain information and with two crown over "GP" and "V" proofmarks. The barrels are equipped with a doll's head extension, ejectors and there is a eyelet type swivel stud mounted on the underside. The massive under lever box lock action is casehardened and features a simple circle design engraved border and "W.J. JEFFERY & Co" engraved in a banner on each side.

Excellent. The barrels retain 98% original blue finish with a few minor dings and scratches, and some minor wear on the breech end of the rib. The bottom action plate, trigger guard and break lever also retain 98% of the original blue with a few minor dings and scratches. The action retains 80% original case colors with areas fading to gray and brightest on the top. The wood is also excellent with a few minor dents and scratches, and sharp checkering. Markings are crisp and clear. The case is good with some wear and fraying of the leather. The lining shows wear and staining. Mechanically excellent.
