I have 3 concerns:

1) right side lock plate looks like it is split.
2) both sides of stock looks split/ cracked
3) middle of right barrel, forward of sling mount, is discolored, possibly from a heavy charge/ stressed.

Otherwise a beautiful rifle.

Not that one but I have a really nice RB Rodda .577 BPE double cased with mould, tools, etc. That one looks like it might have some issues as stated.

Hammer price plus fees was just shy of $4000

From what I can tell from the pictures, it looks like the gun was restored at some point. The blemishes are likely places where more severe corrosion was removed.
