Pittsburg Anson Deeley

[Kensal Rise]

The Pittsburg Firearms Co. was a major importer/retailer of Westley Richards-made box locks in the late 1880s. And yes, the guns were made in England, but engraved/identified as PFA guns. The build quality is the same as base-to-mid-grade Westley guns.

In fact, I owned one in 12-bore for a time.

These were offered in most bore sizes from 10 through 16, with 16 indeed being less common.

It should be a fine gun and one well worth preserving and enjoying… with light loads.

BTW, there were other importers/retailers of these Westley guns as well.

I have seen a few of those A&D marked Westleys. They are every bit as a Westley Richards marked gun, and a 16 is a real find. I would love to see pictures.
