Williams & Powell .577
      23/01/10 02:35 AM

Re: Curl's request for interesting double rifles, I bought this last year.

Williams and Powell, (not to be confused with William Powell) were in Liverpool, the 85 South Castle Street address puts it probably 1874-1876

Although a lesser known name, I fell for its general quality and that it is .577 2 inch (snider), as such an antique here in the UK

The sidelocks (bar action?) with safeties give a completely different look to the back actions

The straight stock with finger rest is also less usual








The fences are quite nice




For the Jones underlever fans, note the shaping of the end of the lever






That is dust in the barrells!!


The damascus twist shows up well


I like the little touches

The rifle appears totally original, I will keep it that way
