Westley Richards is a notable name in the history of firearms. In 1812, William Westley Richards founded the company that bears his name and continues to flourish today. In over 200 years of continuous gunmaking, Westley Richards has been credited with some of the greatest designs in both military and sporting firearm history, most notably the solid drawn brass cartridge case, monkey?tail breech loading rifle, Anson & Deeley hammerless gun, the hand detachable lock action, single selective trigger, forend ejector mechanism, and model ?C? doll's head fastener with snap action lever work. In all, 115 patents were applied for, with many of these designs being officially recognised by the issue of no less than 22 special awards, medals and royal warrants.
This 12 bore side-by-side shotgun was made(according to the Westley Richards website) between 1921 and 1931. If you wish you can get a Westley Richards certificate for it. . Action opens smoothly. Safety and triggers move, triggers do not function to sear . Been used, wood overall good condition, barrel blueing faded due to much use. Only real fault is that due to the narrowness of the forend the left barrel deacitvation slot can be slightly seen.
This is a really special item to have as a deac.
