Boulder:

I've been researching the Webley built double rifles for quite a while, and am curious about something.

This gun was built for Evans by Webley on their A & W (shotgun) action, as opposed to their A & W C double rifle action. Engraving is Webley, so it was probably delivered to Evans complete. The Webley number should be on it somewhere. I'm curious as which serial number series the Webley number is from, shotgun or rifle? I assume it's from the shotgun series.

For a gun actually built in 1927, the Webley number should be in the 111,XXX to 112,XXX range for the shotgun series, or the 13,8XX to 13,9XX range for the rifle series. The number should be on or around the fore-end loop. On the rifles it's stamped on the side of the loop, just under the left barrel.

Lovely gun.
