Beautiful gun!

Tell us more about the "White Hunter" aspect of this gun. Is it a "model" of their boxlock?

I also noticed the absence of the signature doll's head rib extension.

After I have all the kids I want, I'd give a nut for that rifle.

My memory may be a little fuzzy about this, but, as I recall, the "White Hunter" was a post-war model marketed as a basic working gun. I think I remember reading somewhere that Westley had them built for them.

The "White Hunter" was Definately a post-war model .

Clark - yes, I think the "White Hunter" was just a name
for this model of gun - I have seen it in 500, 577 and I think 470.

As to basic working gun, I'm not too sure - particularly
this one as it has all the features. I have seen plainer ones
but I've also seen quite a few highly engraved ones with
full engraving like this,

In regards to who made it, I believe post war WR made the DR's
and that WR had all of their shotguns made in house but by someone else
This finished early 1970's when the people / company
went out under their own name. This came from the people who made
the Shotguns !!!
