The bottom gun is a pre-war British Rigby. It's a Class D, Rigby's lowest grade boxlock double rifle. In that day, Rigby built none of their boxlock DRs. All were "bought in". Most came from Webley & Scott, but a few came from John Wilkes and Charles Osborne, perhaps others. This particular gun came from Osborne. These weren't nearly of the quality of the rifles sourced from Webley and Wilkes.

The new firm says they will only build sidelocks.
