Description:
Made in 1871, this beautiful early Westley Richards 12bore hammer gun. Made with 30" nitro proved damascus barrels, checkered splinter forend which is wedge fastened. Made with crab knuckle joint at forend and bar in wood action. Side plates are nicely scroll engraved as seen in the photos. Made with double triggers and extractors. Straight hand fiddle back figured English buttstock is nicely checkered in two point pattern through the wrist and terminates with its original checkered horn buttplate. Housed in its original oak and leather case with felt interior.
Overall the gun remains in excellent condition with fine mechanics. The nitro proved barrels are excellent and retain most of an older rebrown. Bores are bright. Stocks are sound and retain nearly all of their older hand rub finish. The locks are excellent and crisp. The gun is nice and tight. Case is very good with the interior having been restored long ago. Exterior shows age and original name on top is somewhat illegible.
This gun has fantastic modern shooting dimensions and would be a joy to carry afield. It is priced at $3695 plus shipping directly to you as an antique. Please dont hesitate to contact me with any questions on this fine Westley at (704) 280-2382 or via PM on this site!
