If you have a Rigby rifle it has a serial number some where, you just need to find it. Rigby has records of all their rifles and who it was initially sold to.

However, You did not say it was a Rigby just that you purchased a 275 Rigby.

If you provide the maker of your 7 X 57 firearm, members would have a better opportunity to assist you.

Thank you for your reply, my post wasn't very clear on the make. The rifle is a custom built on a prewar Mauser 98 action. When I purchased the rifle it was said to be a 7X57 but since there is no chambering marking and I've obtained 275 Rigby cases so that is what I call it.
