George Gibbs Farquharson 303 British

[cm76]

I picked up this little rifle today - Gibbs Farquharson in .303 British. The rifle was originally owned by Sydney Holland, who was the Viscount Knutsford, Kneesworth Hall, Royston. The rifle is fitted with a QD mounted Kahles scope which is engraved with the original owners title. The scope was originally supplied by John Rigby, with 'Telescope by John Rigby, 72 St James St, London' engraved on the tube. Looking forward to taking this one out for a shot at Christmas.

So cool!
A scoped 303 is a great rifle to have and being a Gibbs, well even better!

That will be a handy rifle, very nice. I take delivery of my own Gibbs .303 this week. Enjoy that rifle!

By any chance do you know the year of manufacture. It is a magnificent piece.

Gibbs Farquharson #906 was made for the Prince of Wales ca. 1896 for reference.
