The left side receiver wall is marked "J.RIGBY & CO LONDON ENGLAND". The receiver is equipped with a Swarovski 1.25-4x24 scope. The floor plate is satin grey and engraved with floral scroll designs surrounding a lions head in an oval in the center with a gold inlaid rope pattern around the oval and is signed "B BURGESS" directly ahead of the trigger guard. The trigger guard is gold inlaid inscribed "R/F/D/2".

ConditionExcellent overall with 99% plus original finish remaining showing only slight handling marks. The bolt shows some cycling wear. All of the gold inlay remains. The stock shows a few tiny dings and light handling marks, with sharp checkering. The scope is also excellent with some minor scuffing on the right side adjustment knob cover and has clear optics. Mechanically excellent.
