A fine example of a classic British dangerous game rifle, this George Gibbs rifle is chambered in the highly regarded .450/400 3¼” Nitro Express (.400) - a cartridge famed for its excellent balance of stopping power, manageable recoil, and deep penetration on large game.

This rifle features a traditional falling block action with elegant period engraving, complemented by a well-figured walnut stock showing attractive grain and honest field wear consistent with use. The chequering remains well defined while the classic pistol grip and drop points enhance both handling and aesthetic appeal.

The barrels present in good condition, retaining a strong finish with expected light marks from age. Sighting is via express rear sights with multiple leaves, paired with a front blade sight, making it well suited for dangerous game hunting at varying ranges. The action appears tight, with good mechanical integrity typical of quality British gunmaking.

George Gibbs rifles are renowned for their craftsmanship and were built for serious use in Africa and India. This example represents a desirable combination of heritage, practicality, and collectability, ideal for the enthusiast, collector, or hunter seeking a traditional falling block rifle
