Rigby Resurrection is the definitive chronicle of one of British gunmaking’s most iconic revival stories. Weighing nearly 3kg and spanning almost 350 pages, this premium-quality, limited-edition volume documents the extraordinary transformation of John Rigby & Co. from “a box of papers in the back of a car” to one of the world’s leading bespoke firearm manufacturers.
Written by Managing Director Marc Newton and acclaimed firearms historian Diggory Hadoke, and brought to life through the lens of award-winning photographers Simon K. Barr and Terry Allen, this stunning book details the journey of Rigby’s renaissance from 2013 to 2025. It highlights the craftsmanship, passion, and vision that propelled Britain’s oldest gunmaker back to the forefront of the industry.
Bound in rugged canvas and made to endure the adventures of any discerning sportsman, Rigby Resurrection is more than a coffee-table book — it’s a visual celebration of hunting heritage. From the Scottish Highlands to Africa’s sun-drenched plains, the imagery captures Rigby rifles in their natural environment, paying homage to a legacy of adventure and excellence.
Beyond the visuals, the book tells the compelling human stories behind the revival — the artisans preserving centuries-old methods, the leadership driving the brand’s resurgence, and the loyal clients who are part of the Rigby family.
