Cal. 12 Ga. 2-3/4″ Chamber. 34″ Chopper lump barrel with raised flat matted ventilated rib with ivory front and mid beads, and doll’s head extension, is engraved “Westley Richards & Co.

There are two loops for attaching forend for extra strength. Robust boxlock action has pivoting bolt third fastener and no safety. Action is engraved at about 70% coverage of nicely cut large shaded open scroll with “Westley Richards & Co.” in serpentine ribands with scroll terminations on either side. Trigger guard has matching scroll on bow, and SN on grip. Nicely marbled and figured Circassian walnut full pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/2″ over Pachmayr trap pad and 1-1/16″ wood extension. Stock features drop points, horn grip cap, vacant silver oval, and 20 LPI point pattern checkering with mullered borders. 12″ Long full forend has Deeley release with rather plain wood and matching checkering.

Bbl retains 50-60% of what appears to be original blue, a bit thin, and silvering on high edges and at muzzle. Action retains 20 – 35% original case color, fading to silver on high points. Floor plate, trigger guard, and top lever retain 30 – 50% original bright blue with areas of flaking and silvering from use. Screw heads show considerable use and polishing. Stocks retain what appears to be original finish with extra oil rubbed in over the years. Checkering is dirty, somewhat worn, and needs a good cleaning. Wood extension matches fairly well, but could be better with some work. There is a repaired crack at bottom sides of forend near iron. Front loop shows some reworking to tighten forend, which is slightly loose. Action is tight. Bbl is on face. Ejector works. Bore is bright and shiny, with one area where dent has been removed 7″ from muzzle. There are two spots of slight frosting toward breech. A solid gun that just needs a bit of TLC. 8-87647 (3,000-5,000)
