Description:
#141294, Webley & Scott, England: A Webley & Scott 12 Bore Game Gun Made in 1970 in Model 701, I am certain the gun is unfired, The Model 701 was their highest grade boxlock, A very nice W&S Boxlock Ejector 12 Bore with 26" Ejector Dovetail Lump Barrels, Nitro Proved at 3 1/4 Tons with 2 3/4" chambers, The bores at .731 .034 & .043" (Full & Fuller), Original 2 3/4" chambers, Double triggers, Carved and profiled top lever, Splinter forend with an Anson release, Carved shoulders on the forend, Straight hand stock at 14 11/16 x 1 1/2 x 2 1/4" over a Biesen checkered steel buttplate that I am most positive has been there since day one, Very slight cast-off for the right hand, A 9 carat Gold oval in the buttstock line, 6 lbs. 5 oz., Very nice wood with excellent color & contrast that is fitting for a Model 701, 96% coverage of very nice scroll engraving with Model 701 coverage, It retains 100% original case colors, The original barrel blue at 99%, The buttstock and forend remain at 99%, The checkering remains at 100%, The barrels inside & out are as new, The breech face has 100% case colors. This piece was imported by Service Armament Co. in Ridgefield, N. J. and it remains nearly like the day they unpacked it. It has a very small repair on the edge of the forend wood. In 1979 when this model was discontinued this gun was 2,359 pounds sterling or $7183 U.S. ////////////////////////////// Webley & Scott and W & C Scott is one of the best known names in the British sporting gun trade. They made a lot of guns but also produced some very high quality pieces. They provided a lot of semi-finished and finished guns to nearly everyone in the trade. P. (Philip) Webley set up shop in 1838 and William Scott had started in 1834, in 1897 they joined and became Webley & Scott. Under that name they made guns until 1979 and then it again became W & C Scott. In 1985 Holland & Holland acquired the name and I believe the last Scott made was in 1991. Anyone who has shot or hunted with an English boxlock, regardless of the name on the gun, most likely has shot a Webley rifle or smoothbore.
