Very cool gun! Thanks for sharing. I would imagine a Birmingham box lock with a beavertail FE would be quite uncommon.

Keep it

Thanks Allen, I am. Just got a 2 barrel case, a Venati for now (not impressed with the latch), and a case label, a factory letter and found a pair of WR snap caps on guns intl.

Can’t wait to try it out on some 5 stand.

Received my Westley Richards factory letters today and thought that they might be of interest to some. Manufactured in June of 1955 for a Mr. Moore. The cover letter states 2 1/2” chambers. But the log book (and my chamber gauge) note 2 3/4”. No mention of model name or number is given.

Thrive

I paid for a factory letter on a Westley Richards I own as well. They send out a very nice letter and copy of the log book.

John,

Your gun was proofed at 2 3/4”. You may want to call or shoot an email to WR to get them to correct the letter. They charge enough for them they make it right.

Ken

Thanks Ken, it’s been addressed and I’m happy to report I received confirmation this morning that it’s being resolved.

Addendum: Correct letter was quickly reissued, shipped and received on 5/4/26. Very responsive and went above expectations in my opinion.

Carry on
