Description:
A VERY SPECIAL "LIGHT" GAME GUN.
Quite possibly the BEST 12 bore Rigby made.
See letter from Mr. Paul Roberts, Chairman of Rigby's at that time.
The gun was built to very intricate and challenging specifications.
It had to incorporate many features and still keep the weight below 6 lbs.
I purchased the gun from an old friend who had it built for walk ups.
He demanded, and could afford, to have the best possible field gun built.
Gun was finished in 1993 by the master craftsman, David Perkins, from Rigby.
The engraving was exact Rigby pattern done by Allyson Hunt.
I could go on and on about the workmanshiip but I think the letter from Rigby says it all.
My photos do not begin to show the quality of this gun. (sorry)

I agree with Mr. Roberts, you will NOT find a finer Rigby Shotgun at any price.
