Does anyone know who has the Rigby records for guns made in the early 1870s?

A guy I was talking to at dinner who works at St. James Square said they were still there last week. In London that is.

Justin, Doug's post had the correct details; just visit their web site.

First page: "John Rigby & Co (Gunmakers) Ltd, London, England.
Repatriated to the UK after a 15-year absence, John Rigby & Co. (Gunmakers) Ltd invites you to visit its new premises in London. Now part of the Mauser/Blaser group and operating under the direction of Marc Newton and Patricia Pugh, the company is flourishing as it carries out the business of making, servicing and renovating fine rifles and guns. In addition, the showroom is home to the Rigby collection of vintage guns and memorabilia and 82 ledgers with entries dating to 1798."

Justin,
Rigby of Paso Robles, CA closed in 2010. Until early last year, it was based in Dallas, TX. The contact information provided by Douglas Tate is correct.

What serial number(s) interests you? I may be able to help.
