Genuine Westley Richards magazine rifle??
29/06/21 05:22 AM

Both barrel and action have German & British proofs.
Looks like someone poorly bedded the metal.
Per Jon Speed's s/n list, if this is an Oberndorf commercial action it would have been produced in 1913, which doesn't match either date on the action. (??)
There were no pictures of the bottom metal.
Westley Richards inscription is not shown in any of the pictures.

Apologies for size of pics. They are directly from auction site.

This is the auction house description.
