Desirable Engraved George Gibbs Mauser Bolt Action Dangerous Game Rifle in .505 Gibbs

Beaded blade front sight on an engraved and matted ramp on the heavyweight barrel marked "GEORGE GIBBS. BRISTOL &/35. SAVILE ROW LONDON W. & VANCOUVER CANADA" ahead of the raised three folding leaf express notch rear sight graduated for 100, 200, and 300 yards, caliber marking ".505" on top of the barrel at the breech, and London nitro proofs on the left side of the chamber. The action has punch dot matting on the ring and bridge and light engraving on the receiver wall. The floorplate is engraved with flourishes of fine flowing scroll and the trigger guard is inscribed with the matching serial number. Checkered walnut pistol grip stock with blue steel grip cap, rear sling stud with the corresponding stud attached to the barrel on an engraved ring around the barrel, and solid rubber recoil pad.

ConditionVery fine as professionally refurbished with 98% of the blue finish remaining, some scattered handling marks, trace of light spotting on the bolt handle knob, and visible softened markings. The stock is fine with scattered scratches, some small dings along the edges of the magazine well, a few bruises in the otherwise crisp checkering, and hardened recoil pad with slightly oversized spacer. Mechanically excellent.
