W. J. Jeffery & Co. has long been at the top of the British gun trade with names such as Holland & Holland, Rigby, and Purdey, with this rifle being a fine example. The rifle was built between 1910 and 1913 according to Nigel Brown's "British Gunmakers Volume One: London" and has blued steel chopperlump barrels which feature a beaded blade front sight with hood, five leaf (one standing, four folding) rear sight graduated at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 yards on the rear quarter rib, and a front sling eyelet. The barrels are marked "W. J. JEFFERY & Co. Ltd." on the right and "13 KING STREET St. JAMES St.. LONDON" on the left along with period Birmingham nitro proofmarks indicating a loading of 80 grains of cordite topped by a 500 grain bullet. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action which has been polished bright and displays bull buffalo on both sides and features bushed firing pins, chambers with automatic ejectors, double triggers, and a tang mounted automatic safety with gold inlaid "SAFE" indicator. The rifle is fitted with an attractively figured and multi-point checkered forend with an Anson button release and a pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, rear sling eyelet, blank gold inscription oval, and an orange rubber recoil pad. Included is a wood and canvas takedown case, a set of snap caps, cleaning tools, and three boxes of Kynoch .475 Express cartridges (15 total rounds). Length of pull 14 7/8 inches. Weight 11 lbs. 3 oz.

Very fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 99% blue finish, attractive polished finish on the action, some patches of pitting on the metal, and light handling evidence. The wood is also very fine with sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine. A great chance to own a fine British dangerous game rifle!
