#24747, W. J. Jeffery & Co. Ltd, 26 Bury Street, St. James's St. London: A Jeffery Pre-War Takedown 333 Rimless Nitro Express on a Single Square Bridge Magnum Mauser Action, Made for Abercrombie & Fitch about 1917, This is a split-in-the-middle Takedown with typical barrel threads, It is with a 20" Krupp steel barrel with a band island rear sight with 1 folding rear sight, Band front ramp, Sling eye on the barrel, Un-cut matted single square bridge, An original Lyman lever elevator peep sight mounted on the bolt release, Full adjustments for windage & elevation, Waffenfabrik Mauser-Oberndorf Single Square Commercial Magnum length action that carries the Mauser #56382, The action was built in 1912; The receiver, magazine box & stock all have matching Mauser serial numbers, Nitro proof at cordite 42 & 300 max, Belly magazine with a straddle hinged floorplate with a center bow release, Mauser wing safety, A classic Jeffery pre-war stock, Horn grip cap, Point pattern checkering, 14 1/8" L.O.P. over a checkered steel buttplate with a trapdoor, 8 lbs. 1 oz., This piece remains original and in excellent condition, The original blue remains at 88%, The original stock finish remains at 90%, The checkering is at 95%, The bore is excellent plus and looks like it did in 1917. Here is a solid classic Jeffery Magnum Mauser that appears little used and certainly had very good custodians for all these years. ////////////////////////////// This is all Commercial Mauser with a Magnum action and then the British made a great open sighted game rifle to compliment this great piece of bolt rifle machinery. The Mauser Sporting Rifle and actions number about 127,000 and more than 82,000 were sold prior to WWI with a large percentage going to the British Gun Trade. //////////////////////////////Jeffery was already well known at the turn of the century but notice was certainly taken with their impressive line of Double Rifles. They had a large range of cartridges from .280, .333, and 404, 450 #2, 475 #2 and the famous 600 Nitro. Jeffery was at the 13 King Street address until 1914, they moved to 26 Bury Street (The address of this gun) and then to 9 Golden Square in 1921. The Jeffery firm remained in business until 1955, in 1957 Westley Richards purchased the firm and then in 1959 it was merged with Holland & Holland.
