John Rigby & Sons No. 1 Mk.III Sniper

[Promo]

Roger, I fully agree with you. With so little rifles around and the high demand for those resulting in high price which most can‘t pay (German WWII snipers), or with rifles such as this where there simply is only one or a handful out there a reproduction is a good way. And as you said, as long as its identified and sold as what it is, all is fine. I simply only don‘t like those who fake rifles and sell it as originals for a personal profit (moneywise).

Geoff, sorry but what the British gunsmiths produce are rather easily identified as fakes. But forgers in continental Europe aswell as some in the US are really talented! I‘m starting to keep the secrets to identify fakes now for myself, to avoid them to get too good!

The problem is we don't really have any proper Gunsmiths anymore and the ones we do have are all involved with sporting guns etc.......
