Received a 1877 Webley & Scott reprint catalog this week And thought I would post a couple of pages for those interested. Keep in mind that this gun was made between 1868 and 1875. This is as close as I have been able to get thus far. I find it interesting that even tho you bought a best gun they were willing to sell you extra's. These are also wholesale catalogs. If I figured it correctly the gun cost 47pounds and 11 shillings. that is roughly 240.00 in US Dollars. 1 pound equals 5 us dollars in 1870. The first photo shows the grades and prices in pounds and shillings ( example 440/- 44 pounds and 0 shillings). The second pic is the price list of the extra's.
