I don’t know what’s more concerning, the original problem seller or the seller who has it now who hasn’t realized or recognized the issue(s)
It's a damn shame. I'm a real sucker for those beautiful Webley & Scott PHV-1 actions.
Damn, I was actually initially hoping that this one was real. But I thought it quite unlikely.Here’s another one. It was a real double rifle based upon the action shape, OR it was fairly proficiently filed down to create side bolsters. It has an extended top tang, so my vote is that this one really was a double rifle.
Notice anything similar to the OP gun and the fake August Schuler? The same style of quarter rib work? Same tale of “in from a European collection”?
Quite a cottage industry of making up 600NEs it appears.

Would have been great to ask Cal about that as he was very into his .600NE & 4 Bores amongst others.Damn, I was actually initially hoping that this one was real. But I thought it quite unlikely.
So far as as my knowledge goes, only one real vintage Belgium made .600 Nitro Express double rifle exists to date- A Jules Bury boxlock non ejector (the company built only one).
Definitely. His John Wilkes boxlock non ejector was a real thing of beauty. Only nine made in the entire world.Would have been great to ask Cal about that as he was very into his .600NE & 4 Bores amongst others.
