{"id":43176,"count":1,"description":"John Rigby & Co. is a manufacturer of high end rifle and shotgun that became renowned for its large calibre big game rifles. \n\nRigby was established in Dublin in 1735. A London office opened in the mid-19th century and the Dublin office closed in 1897. \n\nHistorically it has been involved with both the development of Enfield and Mauser rifles for the civilian market. The company is notable for the ammunition it developed to hunt dangerous game. The company was the appointed gun or rifle maker for King George IV, King Edward VII, King George V, and holds the royal warrant to make rifles for Queen Elizabeth II but this warrant was revoked after production moved to the USA in the late 1990s. \n\nThe company was taken over by a US consortium in 1997.
