G'Day Fella's,

Thank you to "Mehulkamdar" for posting these images!!!!
You Are The BEST!!!

Thank you also for the kind words but I was just the dealer that arranged the sale of this uncommon firearm, to it's present owner. Let me tell you, I was Very Tempted but could only justify to myself, the purchase of a .404 Jeffery, from the same previous owner as this WR.

This rifle was made by Westley Richards for a Mr L.A. DE Jong of Rhodesia, for the princely sum of 65 Guineas (apparently you could have purchased a Farm in Africa for this amount of money, at the time). According to the grandson of Mr L.A. DE Jong, among other game, the firearm has shot dozens of problem Leopards and thousands of Cape Buffalo as part of the Rinderpest (? spelling) Eradication Program, in Kruger National Park.

The firearm was purchased from the grandson of Mr L.A, DE Jong in 1999 and apparently Mr DE Jong Jr still has the original WR Receipt of Purchase, for this rifle!
The Firearm was fully restored by the one and only, Mr Ross T Waghorn of Melbourne, Australia!
No more really needs to be said!!!

Other than, this WR Best Grade Rifle, handled and pointed like a well built shotgun!
Check out the image that shows the amount of Cast in The Butt Stock.

If you can't live without it, send me an e-mail and I will put you in contact with the gentleman that purchased it, via myself.
