Description:
I purchased this gun from Westley Richards in UK. Phillipson & Nephew made actions for the majority of the trade including Purdey, Boss, William & Son, McKay Brown and others. Occasionally, they made superb guns for friends and high-end clients of the company. This is one of those guns. WR believes that it was likely made between the wars based on the quality of engraving.
