Hey guys, a friend stumbled across this gun at a local shop. The owner knows nothing about it. I can only find descriptions of two boxlocks made by Rigby and both sound more ornate than this. I can also find nothing of Rigby ever using a Greener crossbolt in a boxlock shotgun.
The top rib states "Sold by John Rigby and Co. 43 Sackville St. London W."
So... who made the thing? If I am reading proofs right it was made in the first part of the 20th century and proofed in London, correct? It's nice and light with decent wood, but clearly not ornate. Bottom of the barrels label them as Krupp.
I did not shoot the photos and they are all I have to go on, so apologies for the quality.
