The makers have kindly confirmed that the rifle was completed in 1922. Rigby's built a small number of these rifles between the wars including an identical one for Walter 'Karamojo' Bell. The present example is built to the same specification. Ammunition for this calibre is currently made by RWS as 5.6x52(R)MM
