This is the famous double rifle used by W.D.M.Bell on his 1912 safari. It is written um in Wanderings of an Elepahnt hunter as his 318 Westley Richards. I have the factory letter giving all provinance, and Col Baker of Thomas Bland and Sons personally handled the gun and critiqued it. It has been valued at 100,000 dollars by him, if restored. It is in the condition I received it, that is worn as by being used extensivly on Safari. It is regulated for 250 grain bullets. It fires, and is in excellent condition, other than the ejectors were removed by someone in the past. Bell may have done it, as he was not a fan of ejectors, as they made noise. THis is a wonderful gun, untouched other than the ejectors, since it was made in August 1911. |
