This classic double rifle is from Joseph Whitworth's Manchester Ordnance & Rifle Co. and has his iconic hexagonal rifling. Double barrel Whitworth rifles are far rarer than their single barrel counterparts. Some estimates indicate 50 or fewer double rifles were made by his company. It has a bead style blade front sight, six leaf rear sight (50 standing and 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 folding) with platinum sight lines, "WHITWORTH" and "MANCHESTER" around the Whitworth logo on the rib behind the rear sight, a pair of fish engraved head to tail in a circle on the silver escutcheon on the bottom of the stock, horn grip cap, and checkered forend and wrist. It comes with a takedown case with Hawksley flask, paper cartridges, and other accessories. Provenance: Firearms for Freedom Collection

Very good with a smooth silver-gray patina overall with minimal spotting and minor overall wear. The stock is also very good and has partially smoothed recut checkering, a chip on the left side of the forend, and mild dings and scratches. Mechanically fine. The relined case and accessories are good and have moderate age and storage related wear.
