Item Description: Translate description
serial #5504, 14 bore, 30'' damascus barrels with bright near excellent bores. This is a very handsome double, the barrels retaining a health amount of original plum-brown finish with some drifting to pewter gunmetal patina along the sides approaching the breeches, some small areas of old oxidation and nice damascus patterns. The rib features dual platinum bands at breech and the breech plug features platinum blowout plugs. The rib shows crisp Westley Richards 170 New Bond St. London address and interestingly both lockplates are marked ''W. RICHARDS'', which we would expect to see from the Liverpool maker. The locks, hammers and other fittings are otherwise embellished in full coverage with lovely English scrollwork and floral motifs. The lockplates are a pleasant smoky gray and the triggerguard shows remnants of flaking bright blue. The deluxe checkered walnut stock is really quite lovely and remains in excellent condition retaining about 95% original varnish that has taken on a fine craquelure with some scattered light dings and handling marks with beautiful grain figure throughout. The original brass-tipped rosewood ramrod is present and the locks are crisp and seem to function well mechanically. Perhaps this gun was made by one Richards and retailed by the other. In any event it is a fine quality classic English double. (13B11896-55) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)
