Gents,
I had the privilege of holding this incredibly rare rifle recently.
This rifle was built in 1920 for the Maharaj of Nanparra. Weight is in the region of 7 1/2lbs with 26" barrels and Southgate ejectors. The action is a perfectly scaled down model of a larger side lock double action of best quality. Records show that only seven of these rifles where ever produced by Rigby. In my books this is a true reflection of master gunsmith work.
I do hope that you enjoy the pics. Seeing a true gem like this does not come often.

Re: .22 Savage Hi-Power Rigby Double
Ek het onlangs `n hele paar skote met elkeen van die roere op die foto's geskiet. Dis REGTE gewere in alle opsigte, al is die .22 Hi-Power die duurste meerkat-geweer in die land!
Terloops, Karen Blixen (wat die boek Out of Africa onder die skuilnaam van Isak Dinesen geskryf het) het presies so .22 Savage Hi-Power as trougeskenk by haar eerste man, Bror von Blixen, gekry.
Ek was te bang om destyds `n soortgelyke voorstel aan die toekomstige Mev van Wyk te maak...

Voor ek ook vergeet die ander dubbel in die foto is n .450 Nitro om skaal te gee.
