Factory Engraved Wilkinsons Boxlock Double Rifle in .500 Nitro Express

Built on blued steel chopperlump barrels featuring a ramped beaded blade front sight, a three leaf (one standing, two folding) rear sight on the matted quarter rib, front sling eye on the under rib, "WILKINSONS. PALL MALL. LONDON. S.W." marked on the left tube and "FOR CORDITE 500 3' CASE" on the right, scroll engraving at the breech, and chambers with a single extractor. The flats are marked with London nitro proofs and list the load at 80 grains Cordite and a max 570 grain bullet. The barrels are fitted to a beautifully casehardened bolstered boxlock action which displays floral scroll engraving surrounding "WILKINSONS/PALL MALL/LONDON." signatures on either side before extending to the toplever, triggerguard, and both tangs. The rifle features bushed firing pins, double triggers, and a tang mounted manual safety with gold inlaid "SAFE". The rifle is mounted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with teardrop carved drop points, a horn grip cap, shadowline cheekpiece, rear sling eye, blank silver initial oval, and an orange rubber recoil pad. Length of pull 14 5/8 inches. Weight 10 lbs. 6 oz.

Class: Curio & Relic Long Gun

Very fine overall, retaining 98% of the reapplied blue and casehardened finishes with light handling evidence, scattered minor spotting, some softening of the barrel markings, plum patina on the barrels, some chipping at the wood edges, and sharp recut checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
