All prospective buyers are advised to consult the lists of bore and wall-thickness measurements posted in the saleroom. Potential buyers should note that guns are stripped only where there is a strong indication of a mechanical malfunction. Stripping is not otherwise undertaken.

DOUBLE BARREL HAMMER ROOK RIFLE, NO. 8025, BUILT FOR LORD RIPON 26-inch barrels, bores re-lined, with flat rib and folding leaf sightand engraved “Winners of All The Field, Rifle Trials, London, 1883”, the rounded frame, rebounding backlocks, hammers and top lever with fine bouquet and scroll engraving and retaining traces of original hardening colour, 14 1/2-inch figured stock with pistol grip and cheekpiece, 6lb. 8oz., nitro re-proof The maker confirms that the rifle was built in 1884 for Lord de Grey, the second Lord Ripon. Lord Ripon, Earl de Grey was born in 1852 and became the second Marquis of Ripon in 1909. He is arguably the greatest game shot of all time with a recorded lifetime’s total of 556,813 head of game. Much of his shooting was conducted with a set of three guns and with great speed of loading is known to have had seven dead birds in the air at one time. He persisted in the use of hammer guns. The unprecedented size of his ‘bag’ has led to his frequent description as the greatest shot of all and his feats are unlikely ever to be repeated. At Studley Royal, his Yorkshire estate, he entertained the royalty and nobility of England and Europe and in turn shot with the greatest sporting estates such as Holkham, Sandringham and Elveden in the heydey of the shooting party. It was his combination of natural ability and total commitment to his chosen sport which raised him above the level of other good shots. In the shooting field, throughout his life, he was repeatedly top scorer and despite increasing age he maintained the highest standard to the end. He died on 22 September 1923 in the field, having killed 51 grouse on his last drive. While the last birds of the day were being picked up, he fell down dead. £5000 - 8000
