FACTORY ENGRAVED Antique WESTLEY RICHARDS Swivel Breech Percussion PISTOL 

RARE Double Barrel with SCREW OFF BARRELS

Here we present an antique Factory Engraved Westley Richards & Co. Swivel Breech Double Barrel Percussion Pistol made circa the 1830s-50s in Birmingham, England. Westley Richards & Co. still make world class firearms to this day, over 200 years later. William Westley Richards established his prestigious company in 1812, only yet 22 years of age, at 82 High Street in Birmingham. He established his high end London shop in 1815 at 170 New Bond Street. William’s son, Westley Richards, joined his father in business at the age of 26 and continued to prosper the business with his own ideas and patents. It was he who was responsible for the design of the infamous Monkey Tail Carbine in 1858.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bores are in good shape for their ages and maintain deep grooves. Nice floral frame engravings. The grip is seated firmly and has experienced an average amount of wear expressed with softened checkering. Markings are legible.
