All metal parts are outlined with inlaid gold wire framing exceptional high relief carved scenes. Diana, Goddess of the Hunt, in Silvan setting, with downed stag and attended by three hounds is on left. Right side depicts duck hunting scene with ducks in marsh swimming, flushing, falling from the sky, and dead on the ground, with hunter and guide in canoe in background. A high relief elephant with savanna in background is on bottom of action with extremely well cut scroll above and below. Fences and bolsters are relief engraved with superbly rendered oak leaves and acorns. Pierced thumb lever is sculpted with squirrel holding pine cone. Trigger guard bow is also pierced around head and gold inlaid cross of St. Hubertus’s stag. This superior work is signed by noted Ferlach engraver, Obiltschnig, with signature shield on tang of trigger guard. Exceptional, beautifully marbled and lightly figured Circassian walnut full pistol grip buttstock measures 13-15/16″ over solid red “White Line” pad. Comb is slightly hog-backed. Small shadow line cheekpiece is on left side of stock. Pistol grip is relief carved with fish-scale pattern replacing checkering. Horn grip cap with white spacer has relief gold inlaid monogram “WC” on top. Matching ejector forend has Deeley release, and nearly full coverage of fish-scale carving. This diverse set requires two large oak and leather cases, one is two-tiered. Cases have brass corners and brass central medallions on lids engraved “W. A. C”. Cases also have leather trimmed brown canvas outer covers with strap closures, with leather central labels embossed with “W. A. Curry Columbus Nebraska USA”. Case interiors are lined with dark green baize, and have Westley Richards and Co. paper labels. Two-tiered case has space for rifle, three sets of bbls, two scopes, and other accessories including two bone striker bottles, and sets of snap caps in top tier. A small lift-out tray contains nickel-plated ivory-handled 12 ga. chamber brush, with three other brushes for rifle chambers, more snap caps, and 4 Westley Richards marked square metal bottles engraved “Linseed” “Lubricant” “Solvent” and “Preservative”. Area under tray contains three ivory-handled turnscrews, four replacement main springs and a top lever spring. Other accessories include a broken case extractor, cleaning funnel for 465 cartridge, and “Norfolk Liar” game counter with four click pointers and marked for partridges, rabbits, hares, and pheasants. Besides having spaces for scopes, the bottom tier contains assorted cleaning brushes and jags, along with four leather wallets with pull-through cleaners. The second case has space for the remaining four sets of bbls and two scopes. There are a number of loose cloth-covered blocks to configure cases for which ever bbls and scopes are being carried at the time. PROVENANCE: Consigning family states this fine set was ordered through Westley Richards who did not make an over-under shotgun or rifle at that particular time. This explains the unusual, obviously original, Westley Richards casing. CONDITION: Excellent, nearly as new. All bbl sets retain virtually all of their orig blue, with only a few minor marks, mostly from assembly and dis-assembly. Action retains essentially all of its coin finish, slightly browned. Gold-plating on front of cocking hooks show some silvering. Triggers show some freckling. Stocks are excellent with a few minor marks. Fish-scale carving has pleasingly browned at tips of scales from handling and use. Action is tight. Barrels are tight. Ejectors are slightly out of time. Scopes all have excellent, clear optics with some minor mars in lacquer, especially on scope for 375 which has many marks, mostly on left side, where it appears to have rubbed against something in the case. (This scope also has two extra sets of holes drilled through rear rail.) Cases are excellent, but with areas worn through cloth from contact with bbls. Labels are excellent, but with some compressions. Accessories are fine. Handle is loose on chamber brush. The perfect thing for the world-wide one-gun hunter. 4-41125 MGM44 (20,000-30,000)
