- Lot Description
45 2.4 caliber, 33" barrel round barrel with Rigby Flats, S/N 15340. No. 6 Frame, marked on top of the barrel John Rigby & Co Dublin & London. Right side of the frame is marked J. Rigby & Co Dublin & London, Rigby & Banks Patent No 6 in three lines. Falling block design, banknote-style engraved, side lever to drop the breechblock. Front spirit level sight mounted on a band that goes around the barrel. Rear long range tang sight mounted on the heel of the butt. Checkered pistol grip stock with horn buttplate and pistol grip cap. Checkered forearm. Unusual shape to the lever.
Consignor relates that this rifle was sold to Colonel Stewart of Ireland. This is one of twelve Rigby rifles of its kind made, but it was not used in the world renowned international matches. This rifle was used in Canadian shooting competitions held in Toronto.
Condition
Most of the finish on the barrel has faded to a nice soft plum patina look. No pitting. Markings and lines around the Rigby flats are sharp and crisp. Frame has most of the case colors just lightly fading. Stock and forearm are dark with some nicks and dings. Overall an excellent example of this very rare single-shot long range rifle.
