Marrakai, that is a beautiful rifle for sure, and I would love to own it, heavy or not! The engraveing is beautiful, but is not typical of WR doubles, and I would say it was done after manufacture, or recut deaper than usual. All my WR doubles, both shotguns, and rifles have the very fine, almost "BOLINO FINE" rose & scroll engraveing. Who ever did the restoration did a fine job, especially, if it shoots as well as it looks!

I certainly wish I could afford to buy every WR double I find, but alass I must yeald to the need for food & shelter!
