I used to have a Westley Richards with the same markings as the one in the photos. "WR made for Lyon & Lyon, Calcutta". It was a 450/400 that I took to Africa in 1998. Luckily I was able to sell it a year later for $7200 - a whole 10% profit!

I HAVE done some DUMB things in my life.

It probably wasn't worth much as the original case had the owner's name and address in India on it, of all things! Marking up a perfectly good leather gun case - can you imagine?

He used it to hunt tigers. I took a wild boar in California and a Tsessebe in Botswana.

Yeah, I know ...
