Provenance: The vendor has kindly informed us of the following:

"This rifle was one of Andrew Tucker's sporting rifles. He was the Captain of the English Full Bore Rifle Team, I believe he was the longest serving captain of any English team. He won Bisley twice [the Queen's Cup], Commonwealth Games Gold and far too many other honours to mention. He gave me the rifle shortly before he died."
