hillbillybearJohn Rigby : An Interesting Book
Hi Folks,
While I was doing some research for a paper, I ran across a very interesting book on the Rigby family and business. It details the family tree and does a very in depth job of listing the guns made by Rigby between 1760 and 1869. Many of the original records, invoices etc are reproduced here. Anyone interested in African hunting or fine guns should enjoy this text. I'll list a citation for it below:
Back, D. H. L. Great Irish Gun Makers: Messrs. Rigby 1760-1869. Norwich, England: Historical Firearms, 1992.
Good shooting,
H B B
