Just got a new to new (and looks like new) Army & Navy double rifle. Anyone have thoughts on history or origin?. I'm going to send an email off to Glasgow to see if they have records tomorrow.

If you take .orig.jpg off the end of your image station link the pics will be visible to everyone. Here is an example with your first pic. You have a rifle to treasure there.

That is a great old gun, wow! Army-Navy is probably my choice of old English using doubles..I have had such good luck with them...and in a 577, that's a find.

Everytime I see something like this it gives me more incentice to save and acquire a Double myself. I think you have a nice "new" double there bradhe. When you get some info on it let us know. In the meantime, I'll continue to save for my eventual double rifle purchase.
500 grs., I'm sure its been restored, as you well know most of them have..back then it was common practice to have a gun redone every year...
Whoever did the work on this one certainly did a nice job on the color case and a decent enough blacking...I would send the barrels to Doug Turnbull for his wonderful rust blue...
But hey, its a darn neat gun as is, I'd give my a$$ and all of Georgia for it...I have always wanted to shoot a Buff with a 577 or 600..
