Re: Re value 303 double

Frank:

There are too many variables. Why don't you send it to J. J. and let him check it out and tell you what he thinks it's worth?

Is this a boxlock? Most of these from Army & Navy are Webley products, but by no means all. They used a number of suppliers. Most British .303 doubles are rather old as the .303 was largely supplanted in doubles shortly after 1900. Most also have Metford rifling. Depending on numerous variables, a boxlock .303 could be worth $7-14K. Pictures would help a lot. You can email them to Rusty and he can post them for you.

If it is a Webley product, it will have Webley's number on the barrels somewhere - either on the short rib (between the flats and the fore-end loop) or on the fore-end loop itself. This number won't match the A & N number. If you can get me either number, I can give you a rough idea of date.
