10 Gauge Westley Richards shotgun BP
      12/11/09 04:32 AM

I've just come by a double hammer, 10-gauge Westley Richards shotgun. It has 31 inch bbls and is s/n 4208 which puts is around 1877? It's fully engraved and has " Patented October 10th 1865 on the rib near the action. The locks say "Westley Richards & Co."

Condition inside and out is excellent for the age. Mechanically it's very good. I'm thinking of shooting lead balls in it, but not really too sure I want to do that. It has no heirloom value to me, nor am I particularly attracted to it. My interests lie in large caliber handguns, not old shotguns.

What I'd like to really do is trade it for something of equal value. I value it at $2800, give or take.

I'd post photos,but I'm a Luddite. I'll try later.

Ok, so what would you do with it?
