Some of these old British rounds had multiple guises, seems like a good round to use for BP express which we have to have a case capacity (total if I'm correct) of more than 110gn.
I'm assuming here it is the 500/450 BP No1 (carbine)the Westly Richards 2 3/4"
93x64mm

Wow! - Thanks Lancaster for posting such a beautiful rifle

The hammer single is still one of the most attractive to my eyes, and the "less is more" rose and scroll is my personal favourite

Of course the rifle was made in Suhl! All prewar Heeren rifles were made there. Though Nagel & Menz, Baden – Baden, held the original 1880 patent by Colonel Count Arturo Heeren, they never made "their" actions themselves. As usual, they had their rifles made in Suhl by Stephan Heym (not related to the still active F.W. Heym company). As long as the patent was valid, Nagel & Menz had the exclusive right to market these actions. After the patent expired, Heym could provide other gunmakers with actions and complete rifles directly. At Stephan's death in 1919 his son Max Heym took over the business. Max Heym had the word "Heeren" protected as a trademark. Max continued until 1938, when because of old age he sold his business to Ernst Kerner & Co., Suhl, who continued to make Heeren rifles and actions until 1945. During the interwar years about 80 to 100 Heeren actions were made each year.
It was after 1945 only, when E.Kerner, Suhl, was no more, that others started making Heeren actions. Known are Glaser - Zürich, Oreschowski – Graz, Furtschegger _ Kufstein, Outschar – Ferlach. All other gunmakers bought in their actions or the complete rifles from these makers.

bavarian M 1869 Werder "lightning" rifle probably sporterized in Suhl/Zella Mehlis, maybe one the rifles made once by C.G. Haenel
http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=5674581







interesting fact that the rifle is chambered for the 8x58R Sauer &Sohn one of the older so called Express cartridge because the mother case was the 360 BPE 2,25". such express cartridges had a lower pressure than 8x57 rimmed and rimless and were used for early weaker break action guns. the old Werder rifle get a new breechblock when the rifle was rechamberd from 11,5x50R Werder to 11,15x60R Mauser 71 in the 1870s and seems it was strong enough then for small bore nitro rounds.

Obviously, there are many more than two Gibbs Farquharsons with Selous plates so the consignor is in error on that point.
The rifle must have been chambered in 461 No.2 originally as that rear sight with the black powder charges and bullet weights conforms with the No.2 loadings. The gun looks to have been rebarreled while utilizing the original rear sight and as stated the forend is an obvious replacement.
I would like to get this rifle and put it back to its original configuration. That would be the only just treatment for such a rifle IMO.

You are spot on there Huvios , You have one, I have one, and there is the example here, I also know of a number of others shown in Wal Winfer's books, but this is very nice, and begging to be put back into original configuration , at least they got the Selous plate screws in right! Chris.

Chris, I did buy that one and it is being rebarreled and new forend and case coloring.
It will be a 450 3-1/4 BPE though.
I have the Metford barrel to use and I really wanted to go with a 500/450 of some sort but the trough in the action is really too small for that size of rimmed cartridge. Externally, the barrel will be turned to match my 461 and to use the original rear sight that is on the small barrel. I'm really glad that sight was still with the gun!
I didn't have a Selous plated Gibbs before getting this one.
