Hello all, few years back I purchased a 375 H&H caliber W.J.Jeffery bolt action from Griffine & Howe. From markes could say The gun born and raised in Affrica. This my daily Africal rifle. I tried to chase the serial number # 28738 by calling reputable gunsmither in country and W.J. Jeffery and Holland & Holland in UK with no luck. there is initials engraved on oval as
H.C.S. assume is the abrivation of the first owner's name.
Any how I appriciate any information regarding the year it's been made or the owner can identify his rifle.
 
Do you have pictures you could send us? This could give some more clues
 
So you won’t send pictures of your rifle? I think you will find info regarding it a bit thin if all you can do is point us to the manufacturer. Best of luck to you…..
He wasn’t the o.p. The guy you quoted just pointed the o.p. In the direction of where he can find the info he’s after.
 
sorry for the delay, here are some pictures, there are couple modifications, adding Griffine and Howe side mount for using scope, also adding crossbolt by myself to strenghten the stock. also the stock came with original metal plat rather than recoil pad. The original Maouser safty also replaced.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
