This particular model likely served a commercial or colonial market and retains the original character and working integrity that made Westley Richards a major name in 19th-century firearms innovation. Features a 25" barrel, percussion ignition, and military-style sights. The bore is bright and sharply rifled, showing the accuracy potential of the Whitworth pattern rifling. Metal surfaces have aged to a mottled, untouched patina, and the gun remains in mechanically sound condition. Caliber: .450 Whitworth Barrel Length: 25" Action: Monkeytail breech-loading percussion Ignition: Percussion Stock: Hardwood, lightly cleaned long ago Markings: Dated 1873, serial #6255 Weight: Approx. 7 lbs. Category: Antique (No FFL Required Where Permitted) No. 4473 Required Condition: Very fine as found. Metal has naturally toned to a mottled brown patina, consistent with honest age. Bright bore with sharp rifling—better than typically seen on these carbines. Mechanically excellent. Wood shows evidence of old cleaning but remains solid and serviceable, with typical small dings and age character. An increasingly hard-to-find British percussion breechloader in the highly desirable .450 Whitworth caliber—an excellent addition to a serious British military or Westley Richards collection.
