Clearly two of a possible batch of BSA's bought and marketed by Westley Richards

As I emailed you, the .303 was probably the most popular calibre throughout the Empire, and these a (relatively) affordable sporting, as well as the Officer's models, with/without bayonet fittings as well as carbines

As I said, if only they could talk!
