Hello all, I am widening my search and am looking for a mint pre 1938 .470 NE or .500NE double rifle by Westley Richards (must be C type lever and droplock best), H&H (must be self detachable locks), Purdey or possibly Jefferies or Rigby. I would prefer 24" barrels, stock at least 14 7/8ths,
double trigger, main consideration is v.v.good condition or mint, pref cased and will shoot well. If it needs re-regulating I can sort this in UK. I have a good friend in UK (I live in Spain) who has all licences for import/export, he is the concessionaire in UK for AYA and Marlin amongst others. I will obviously want the gun appraised before I wire the money and will use either H&H in NY or H&H in London although if, for example it is a Westley I will be happy to get it checked there.
I will of course pay the shipping for the appraisal whether I buy the gun or not. Payment can be in any normal traded currency to your account by wire transfer. Please email me photos should you have a gun for sale that you think fits the criteria, many thanks, Mike Bailey

I had a gun like that once, threw the bloody thing away...!

I prefer to detach the locks myself!


That said, we'll be happy to keep a look-out for you. Bear in mind that WR droplocks and H&H detachable sidelocks etc don't just pop out of obscurity, most are well-known and any proposed change of ownership is generally well-planned beforehand.

Good luck!

hi mike

those guns you describe are the ones most of us are looking for, just be prepaired to pay a premium for them as they are highly priced and very seldom unknown ones surface.

will be on the lookout for you.

Mike,

Check out the Classifieds at www.internetgunclub.co.uk You could also send them mail from their website asking for something specific. This is a forum of the Birmingham Gun Trade and they would be able to send you information whenever something matching your requirements turns up.

Good hunting!
