This rifle was left in storage in London with Rigby & Co and was released for sale by the British Royal Family in the 1960's. It was purchased by John J. Malloy and returned to America. This rifle bears the single "U" signature of John Ulrich in back of the trigger guard. A Grade 1 Winchester "Highly Finished Arm" truly fit for a king. Remarkably this rifle bears no English proofs. This unique lack of proofs can be explained by the fact that serial number 10651 was a royal commission and as such was able to enter the United Kingdom without being sent to the proof house as required by English law. King George V was a keen hunter and sportsman. During a 1911 Christmas hunt in Nepal, the King and his party shot 39 tigers and 18 rhinos in 10 days. This is the only factory gold inlaid and engraved Grade 1 rifle once owned by a British monarch and may be the only royal Grade 1 Winchester extant. **Excellent condition overall with only minor wear to finish.** Provenance Rigby & Co.
