The barrels are marked "W. J. Jeffery & Co." and "13. KING STREET. St. JAMES'S. LONDON." on the left and right respectively. The blued boxlock action displays extensive scroll engraving surrounding "W. J. Jeffery & Co." banners on either side with scroll continuing onto the triggerguard and both tangs. The rifle features bushed firing pins, double triggers, and a tang mounted manual safety with gold inlaid "SAFE". Nicely figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings, including the rotary lever latch, and pistol grip stock with teardrop flats, engraved blue grip cap, blank inscription oval, and leather wrapped recoil pad.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professional refurbished, retaining 97% plus blue finish with light handling evidence and some softening of the markings and engraving. The wood is also very fine with a few minor chips on both sides of the lower stock head, some wear to the leather pad, and sharp recut checkering. The case is very good with some mild wear. Mechanically excellent.
